Cannot believe the railways was such state of the art!
Fantastic to experience yesterday, today.
Congrats to the people that still maintain their 60+ year old houses and gardens!

Couldn't get to the waterfall - dodgy surroundings and dark tunnel to walk through. Please make it more accessible, maybe with security and paypoint??!

Beautiful views, place looks very unsafe with too many doggy characters milling around.
Better to travel in a group

Visited the falls today & weren’t keen to walk through the old & very dark railway tunnel. We walked back through the road tunnel instead & took the footpath back towards the railway tunnel to find the turning to the viewing platform. If you’re in the area worth the 15 min walk to see the falls but wouldn’t make a special trip to see it.

There were two lady police officers at the bridge who were extremely unfriendly and when asked where the falls were asked for a tip. You then walk through a dark tunnel for about 250m and finally come to the falls. Some of the barrier Poles are missing and there were a few undesirables hanging about giving us very strange looks. My husband says they were eying my camera bag and nudging each other while I took photos. Not a place to go if you are not in a big group.
