You can cross the river at this point if the water is low enough and you are either dressed well or prepared to get wet, it was too deep for us, so we walked around, the view of this waterfall is best enjoyed on the far bank, but is a detour from the main walk.

Markers are slightly out due to gps misbehaving but the views are good from this side, when water is low you can get across if not you have to walk up the other side

A sometimes less crowded spot to enjoy a view of the falls.
