After around 5 km, you'll arrive at Uloola Falls, a peaceful, tucked-away cascade perfect for a snack stop or picnic. There’s also a short side track leading to the top and bottom of the falls for stunning photo opportunities.<h3>💧 Dip Into Karloo Pools</h3>From Uloola Falls, the trail narrows and becomes rockier as you descend toward Karloo Pools — a shimmering, emerald-green waterhole that's made for swimming on a warm day. It’s a highlight of the walk and a great spot to cool off before the final climb.<h3>🏞 Ridge Views &amp; A Smooth Finish</h3>The last stretch of the walk winds upward along forested ridgelines, offering sweeping bushland views before gently descending into Heathcote Station. This final section is shaded and peaceful, giving you time to unwind before hopping on the train home.It is recommended you bring your bathers as there's a very high chance Dan will be swimming and the water will be beckoning!It is recommended you have a decent fitness level for this event.This walk is a real showstopper boasting some of the best views Sydney has to offer!START TIME AND MEET LOCATIONMeeting Location: Couranga Walking TrackMeeting Time: Arrive 11:00am for a strict 11:20am Departure.WHAT TO BRING- Water (at least 1-2L)- Snack food for the hike- Money for pub afterwardsWHAT TO WEAR- Comfortable Walking Shoes- Comfortable Weather Suitable Clothing (check weather on the day).- Hat / BeanieFINISHThe Hike should take around 6.5 hours with small breaks to enjoy some sightseeing.This trail is a point-to-point trail, so if you're driving, be prepared to catch public transport back or double the KM's walking back to the start point.Can't wait to see you there!Dan Hill (Co-Founder of Social Walks)
