Description

From the Gibraltar Rock car park, descend the short section of Prendergasts Track to the start of Rhodes Track near the deer fence gate.

Turn left and follow Rhodes Track through the forest to another deer fence gate.

Continue down Rhodes Track through open regenerating forest for 30 minutes until you reach the sign for Annes Falls and Nelsons Track.  

Turn right and follow this trail down towards the stream at the valley floor. Annes Falls is a short 5-minute diversion off this section of the track and is well worth a visit.

Return via Nelsons and Kirk Track to create a 120-minute loop.
