Bridal Veil Falls at Blackheath - after severe thunderstorm - 16-1-2010

Gee it looks good from the top...spare a thought for myself and my two colleagues, we were at the bottom near the signpost junction to Evens look out sitting down having a break.. It was like someone flushed the toilet and you were in it. The river rose 4 metres and we were lucky to not get washed away. Pretty scary. Didn't see any signs re flash floods. Just not our time yet. We had to wait 1 hour for river to subside for us to cross. Kokoda Buddies.

Just glad you guys are okay - there was always the potential for nasty storms on that day. There has been drownings down there in the past after severe storms. Be sure to check my site for warnings before going down there and really, you should seek professional advice from someone like The Weather Company, before trekking in summer. Glad you made it out okay!
