  • Head down via the Amphitheatre Track towards Bridal Veil Falls. Short but steep, don't let the 2km fool you.
  • We went purely for the Infinity Pool, but the views on the way down are incredible. Bridal Veil Falls itself is a massive waterfall, worth stopping for.
  • Past the falls, at the metal bridge, skip the stairs up. Go through the railing on the left instead and follow the creek downstream.
  • Look for the Infinity Pool sign (a concrete cylinder), then a rope-assisted scramble down. It's a genuine Instagram spot now, so don't expect to have it to yourself.
  • Right on an unfenced cliff edge with slippery rocks, so take it slow. Not the spot to be reckless.

Heads up: skip it after heavy rain or if rain's forecast, flash flooding and slippery rocks make it unsafe.
