Hi, I want to go to Barrington Tops NP. Can anyone tell me where the waterfalls are and which is the best way into the park to get to the falls. Toby

Hi Toby,

I think these are the main waterfalls-Manning river falls on Thunderbolts road, Gummi Falls (off the Tuglow trail i think) and Gloucester Falls on the Gloucester Tops Road. the first two falls i think are well within the park so it doesnt really matter where you enter, but Gloucester Falls is obviously on the Gloucester side. Hope that helps.

Yeah mate a map would be great, thanks for the offer. Please email as it would be much appreciated. Toby

the map to buy i think is "Barrington tops & gloucester districts" by CMA
Glouchester falls - go via Glouchester,Berico, then NP, but haven't been to the falls themselves, i think its only via walking trail......

Heya,

Buy the topo maps, it is VERY easy to get lost in the park as there is so many well made tracks leading all over the place - and the manning falls are a bit difficult to navigate to, I have 3 I think to cover the areas I go to. On the northern side of the park is a 60m fall, but involves a fair hike to get to, and I have been to one about 25m on the manning.

Also, what time of year are you planning to go? I have been there in January before and it's been about 2 degrees up top...

I am sure you could pay Subydazz money and he would take you on a tag-along tour of the area, that place was like a playground for us when we were younger...

Oh yeah, if you have a garmin GPS, does it display maps? if so I can send you unlocked mapsource maps of the area to load up?

Here is a screen shot from the Pigna Barney topo map



and is where I like to camp. I have had a stock Gen III Liberty in there before, wouldn't do it now though, is strictly a lifted sube zone...

There is forestry tracks zipping off everywhere, be careful out there!

good to see someone else here using OziExplorer!
wouldn't mind trying out some mapsource maps....
i've got the nsw and vic topo maps for ozi, now if only tasmania was available....
