There is no defined walking track to Leslie Falls, you will either be walking down the creek on slippery rocks, or, route-finding your way along the bank, certainly not a waterfall to visit if you have children or no off-track walking experience. There are other ways to get here, and, I have found a natural pass through the 10mtr cliff line above these falls, but these are not easy falls to get to.

Leslie Falls are located 300-400mtrs below the junction with Cataract Creek and Lawson Creek, they are on Lawson Creek itself. Originally named Bass Falls in the 1880s, a local named them after his daughter Clarence Leslie Jeavons in the 1950s, around the same time, Laurence Jeavons cut and built a rough track from their property down to the falls, it is doubtful any part of the track still remains.

A single drop of about 3mtrs down onto either a sandy floor, or a deep pool, when I visited, it was a deep pool, other images I have seen show no pool at all, just a sandy "beach" with a few inches of water flowing over it. A quiet spot and pretty, I would doubt you will ever see anyone else here at these falls. Except mossies, grey zebra striped blood suckers.

You could take a dip here but watching out for underwater snags and rocks, but then you still have to face the walk out so would be pretty hot by the time you got back to the car.
