Katoomba: Minnehaha Falls CLOSURE

The walking track to Minnehaha Falls (North Katoomba) is currently closed until further notice - due to safety risks relating to the instability of a rock overhang.

Council is currently considering options to undertake the work required to safely reopen the track. This will take some time and we thank you for your patience. 

Those ignoring closure fencing and closure signage do so at their own risk and are urged not to.
