The country around the Snowy River and its tributaries can be difficult to access, even nearer the coast. The fractured escarpments and deep rainforests of the Brodribb River, the risk of mosquitoes and sinkholes adds a whole new dimension of risk.

Most bush towns have a couple of reserves for the local kids to go explore, trip over branches, swim at in summer heat, and learn to kiss their sweetheart at. Although Orbost is on the banks of the mighty Snowy River, it is no exception.

A little to the north, in the precinct of an old forestry operation, Young Creek falls down the escarpment. There are lots more falls near and far, but this is far enough away from town and close enough to ride a horse or risk your first car to go explore.
