Tips

August 10, 2026

Vera’s Grotto is an easy detour to miss on the way down Furber Steps, but it’s worth taking the short side track. Water runs over the sandstone into a small, enclosed grotto surrounded by ferns and damp rock, giving you a very different view from the bigger falls and lookouts higher up. The turn-off is only around 30 metres from the main track, so it adds very little distance.
