About Twin Step Falls

The uppermost drop in the unofficially named "Twin Falls Complex" consisting of four beautiful rainforest waterfalls in the foothills of Hartz Mountains, Twin Step Falls is a nice, stairstepping waterfall dropping about 7 metres only a short distance below the road. 

To find Twin Step Falls and the rest of the falls downstream, turn onto the Arve Loop Road from Arve Road, then take a left turn onto an unnamed spur road, heading uphill along this little used, muddy road (4WD/AWD recommended) until you come to another fork in the road where it's best to park and use as a turning circle (GPS coords for parking -43.1545, 146.76135). From the parking spot, head back down the road about 30 metres to the closest point between the road and falls, and down towards the creek. It's only 60 metres in a straight line to Twin Step Falls, but it is hard going through forest burnt in the 2019 fires resulting in unstable ground, numerous fallen trees and thick undergrowth. 

Twin Step Falls can be heard before they're seen, and are just 60 metres upstream of the next falls in the series, Little Twin Falls, so it's worth doing these two falls as a combo then deciding whether to continue down the hill to the larger falls downstream, where the going only gets steeper and harder.
