Ida falls lithgow
Address: bells rd Oakey park Lithgow .A very enjoyable scenic bush walk to Ida Falls. Although it is not sign posted there is only one spot where you could take the wrong path. The correct path is the one to the left over the log bridge to cross the creek.

The return bush walk takes a little over an hour.
