I was looking at some pictures of the Toorongo falls in the internet. For those of you who visited the falls in the past: am I right to assume that one needs a pretty strong wide angle to capture the falls in their entirety? The area around the falls looks like dense forest. I am still considering what equipment to pack.
DON'T FORGET A TRIPOD!!!
For me, the allure is not the Falls; it is the river.
As Gary mentioned, the footbridge is the first point of call. Looking upstream gives you the widest vista of the river for the whole area. However, if you turn around, you'll see a good set of falls over some large rocks. It's a bit of a scrabble to get down to the water here, but it can be done with some care.
Further up the river, you'll find little "pockets" of falls. These are really good for taking vignettes.
The smaller drop Falls, Amphitheatre Falls, can kinda be shot from their base. However, the best view I found was on the other side of the river. But here's the catch: you need to cross the metal stabilising brace to get there. This involved crawling across it with a full pack on board, perhaps 5-6m above the rocks. A bit scary, but worth it.
Anyway, I still have room to take one or two people. I'm picking up Colin and his semi-tamed Technika III from Bunnings in Vermont around 8:30. Let me know if you want a lift.
