Floras Falls




Chances are you would not have heard of Floras Falls, but the aim of this walk is to attempt to find them. Adrian noticed the falls in a history written by Maria Grist and this has sparked investigations and conjecture. There are two 1905 photos and descriptions of the falls from 1894.   The location is at Collins Cap and one of the spots we think worth checking is on the top layer of Yellow Cliffs where a creek is marked and the contours close.
Depending on the weather which is at this stage a bit uncertain, we hope to walk to the location at Yellow cliffs. It is an interesting place to visit anyway.
