Punna Falls via Watsons Lookout Thursday 6th November 2014 Punna Falls I thought that I would go on an easy walk today, and not very far from home, but as things sometimes turn out different to what was expected, I ended up taking much longer than what I had estimated. This was basically due to a scrub bash that was not in the plan. My idea was to start in Denison Road out from Lonnavale and walk up and over Watsons Lookout and then down to Punna Falls and back via some forestry roads. As you will see it did not quite turn out that way. Track up to Watsons Lookout To reach the start of the walk, drive out on Denison Road as if going to Snowy South, but at the Lake Skinner turnoff, stay on Denison Road and drive past a gate for about 350 metres and park beside the road. I was expecting the gate to be shut, so intended to start the walk there. If the gate remains open it is possible to drive much closer to Punna Falls via Denison, Barn Back and Walducks Roads. It took me only 20 minutes ...

Punna Falls Saturday 30th July 2016 Punna Falls  After the walk to Punna Falls in 2014 and not reaching the base of the falls I thought they were owed another visit, but approaching from below the falls this time. I parked in a small park off Denison Road and walked a short distance up the road to the track on the left that goes up to Badger Saddle. As I was climbing up I could see a recently logged and burnt area in the distance which appeared to be in the direction that I needed to go.About 800 metres up this track I left it and headed down to Badger Creek and crossed over it and continued on paralleling the creek until I reached the burnt area. This was a very large area and does not show up on Google Earth, so it is quite recent. I walked across the coup but should have stayed to the right hand side as it was easier going. Basically I continued on right up to the top right hand corner where I left the coup and entered the bush. It was not too bad and I headed down to the creek....
