Day 3 (Sun): Pack-up, return to cars, drive to start of Yarramunmun Firetrail. With daypacks, head north along firetrail for several klms, then west off-track down through cliff lines via a pass to Boolijah Creek, then downstream to falls. Return to cars similar to inwards route with some exploration for an alternate exit pass, drive home.
