This is a beautiful walk through rain forest and more very tall trees. Because Maydena is fairly isolated we were the only ones on the track leading to the cave so it was quite pleasant. We went at a leisurely pace which gave us time to enjoy the walk and to have a good look for the trout which inhabit the stream.
