Stooge Farm Wilderness Retreat

Alum Cliffs trail follows a short, well-defined track through an area of historical and cultural significance. From the car park there is a short ascent to a plateau with a large sculpture (the three points on the sculpture represent the three significant paths aboriginal people would walk; from Western Bluff to Tulampanga and Quamby Bluff). Then through a gentle descent the track terminates at a viewing platform overlooking the Mersey River and spectacular Alum Cliffs Gorge. Tulampanga is the Pallittorre (local Aboriginal) name for the area. Time: 40 minutes return. Grade: 2: Suitable for most ages. The track has a hardened or compacted surface that may have a gentle uphill section or sections of occasional steps. Image: © 2020 Jade Austen. All rights Reserved.

Easy when viewing from below or moderate but steep climbs to top: 25 minutes return. Consisting of three tiers with good views of the falls from the cliff top. The walk is unfenced and next to a ravine so is unsuitable for small children. Care is also needed on the final section, at the base of the falls, as it is very slippery when wet. From Sheffield take the B14 towards Railton and turn right onto the C156. Park on Bridle Track Road about 150 metres north of the Lower Beulah turn off. Follow tags, pink then blue, north-west inside bush along the cliff edge.
