About Hunters Falls

In the upper reaches of a tributary to New Town Rivulet is an unnamed, but fairly significant waterfall dropping at least 30 metres over a long, cascading drop. The Lost World Track crosses the middle of the falls, though unofficially they go by Hunters Falls as it is the Hunters Track that provides access from Pinnacle Road. Being on the upper reaches of a tributary creek Hunters Falls are likely to be seasonal, and best visited after winter rain or snow. 

There are a variety of routes that can be taken to reach Hunters Falls following Mt Wellington's network of tracks, but the shortest and most logical begins from The Chalet on Pinnacle Road. Take the Hunters Track as it heads steadily downhill, then take a left after a few hundred metres to head onto the Lost World Track. After only about 800 metres of total walking but over 150 metres of lost elevation, the track heads across the creek containing the falls, where slightly awkward photos can be taken perched on top of a lower tier.
