Cave Creek, Hill Top NSW
So on Tuesday my aunty, brother, mother and myself found the easiest track possible in my "Best Bushwalks of the Southern Highlands" and made our way to Hill Top. We parked at the designated car park picnic area and headed off on our journey. Not long into it mum wanted to head back, but I pushed her through and it was an enjoyable walk, it took us about 50 minutes walking slowly inspecting the plants and our surroundings (as well as telling my aunty and mum to hurry up). The first fork in the track came to the left as we wandered down a metal footbridge into the "cave" section of the walk. It was quite damp and slippery and you could hear the rush of the waterfall but couldn't see it. Drew got a leech on his leg in this section of the walk, i'm sure you could explore further with gumboots and a torch!
We went back over the footbridge and continued on our path, it took us around and down, over some stairs and deep into the rainforest gully. It was beautiful. The sandstone cliffs towered above us and we walked beside the cliff and wandered down to the "creek" section to take photos. By this stage Mum and Carol had had enough and decided to head back as they couldn't see the trail going anywhere else. After they left and I got some shots i wanted me and Drew trekked on around the thin trail which followed the wall. About 20 metres up we came to a wooden bridge which crossed the creek, and low and behold we stumbled upon a magical waterfall in a cave (obviously where all the water was flowing to on the other side). It was gorgeous! After stopping to take heaps of photos (including the one above) we headed back. The walk back only took us 30 minutes as it was much quicker up. Carol and Mum were devestated they missed the best part and no doubt we'll be going back so they can explore :)
