About Upper Marriotts Falls

Upstream of Marriotts Falls is a spectacular 30 metre waterfall that plunges over an overhanging ledge, unofficially known as Upper Marriotts Falls. The falls were once part of the official track network that continued above the lower falls, however this track has long been abandoned back to the wilderness and is now a very rough route only suitable for experienced hikers. 

From Marriotts Falls, the route begins on the western side of the creek just before the final scramble to the base of the falls, and initially heads steeply uphill to the top of the falls along a poorly defined and at-times precipitous route. Once at the top of the falls, the trail continues upstream, sometimes close to the creek and sometimes higher up the bank. The majority of the route is marked by pink ribbons but these can at times be sparse and the trail underfoot is often nonexistant. As you near the falls the trail drops right down to the creek and crosses to the eastern side over a log crossing, then shortly afterwords back to the western side, before passing several nice little cascades. Finally, after a walk of 900 metres from the lower falls taking at least half an hour, the trail arrives at the base of Upper Marriotts Falls.
