Gerringong Falls || Vlog 02 || How to get to the bottom

Merry Christmas Trax family
This video has been long overdue - almost 4 years ago I visited the bottom of Gerringong Falls. This is hands down our favourite Waterfall in NSW and favourite place to go Wild Swimming.
This place is so unique and so absolutely gobsmackingly beautiful that video's and photos will never do it justice, but we hope we can give you a glimpse into its beauty. Come view it for yourself with our guide of How to get to the bottom of Gerringong Falls, NSW.
If this was a graded trail; it would be Hard, as there is no clear directions or fixed trail. Please only attempt this if you hold navigation skills, are confident hiking long distances and are prepared for any emergency.
Remember, Adventure friends, Please LEAVE NO TRACE on your travels.
and an Instagram photo is not worth your life so stay back from edges and don't do anything outside of your capability.

GERRINGONG FALLS TRAX FACTS
Time: 1.5 hour bike ride to top of Falls, 1 hour walk down to the bottom.
Allow 5.5 hours moving time return and give yourself plenty of time to enjoy the falls.
Distance: Approx 22km return (Or 18km return to top of the falls)
Tip: you can buy marking tape from Bunnings for a couple of dollars. Please make sure you remove on your way back up. Rope is also a good idea for the Chimney
We know you will be mesmerised by these falls and it is easy to lose track of time down here, but make sure you leave plenty of time to get back home in the Daylight as you are so low in the valley the sun dips below the cliffs making it darker quicker.
The water is always freezing as it only gets direct sunlight for part of the day- so make sure you bring warm clothes to put on after if you intend to swim.
When going to remote areas always let someone know where you are going and the time you intend to return, in case they need to call emergency services if you don't return on time.

    The only difference I found was at the 9:20 point in the video, where you suggest going through the "Rock Chute". There is a tree just before the chute with an arrow to the right on it. turn right there to get to the chimney rather than going down that chute and it gets to the chimney quite easily. This is a great video and very helpful. Thanks

    This is so helpful, my friend and I have been eying off this waterfall for a few years. Maybe this is the year we see it! I love your idea of riding bikes to maximise waterfall time haha :)

    Just found this. Great video, thanks a lot! There's a huuge variety of opinions about the difficulty of doing this (particularly as several people have got lost or seriously injured) so it's really helpful to see some actual video footage.

    Yeah thanks For your information very helpful but The moment to the bottom I searched for the tree it was not there looks like it’s falling. Maybe even the clouds it’s not there 😂😂😂😂😂😂

    why is the rock pool look like it's manmade? Like cut into perfect steps?

    Natures pretty cool hey but there is nothing man made about this, but it makes you realise how we have been inspired by nature for all our manmade inventions. 😊

    Not that we are aware of. It seems to be the only safe(ish) way down the cliff. If you are confident at climbing you can do it without a rope but the rope makes it alot safer 😊

    This area is closed off now, and big $$$$ fines are in place for trespassers.

    What do you mean closed off so you can’t get to the bottom?
