fantastic scenery and beauty so peaceful and quiet and the views are stunning well worth a visit especially in nice sunny weather or after some rain to see the waterfall in full flow. Enjoy a scone and coffee at the cafe as well and dont forget to look at the film about the pipeline

You got to do the Chine, relaxing to walk around and really interesting. Not really for kids under about 8 or so.
