Here's
how
to
get
there
(Upper
Deck
via
Forest
Drive):
Starting
from
the
Main
Road,
walk
down
on
the
way
to
the
Arboretum
but
turn
right
to
the
Forest
Drive.
After
10min
of
walking
(800
metres),
the
road
will
split
into
two:
choose
the
left
one.
After
about
5min
(300m)
the
road
will
split
further
into
two:
left
turn
(upper
deck)
and
right
turn
(lower
deck).
Choose
the
left
turn.
It
will
then
be
a
mild
uphill
climb.
After
800m
uphill,
there
will
be
a
sharp
bend
to
the
left.
But
keep
your
eye
on
the
right
side
for
the
sign
board
(piggy
trail
sign)
to
the
Kettlespout
Falls
upper
deck.
It
will
be
a
narrow
trail,
a
bit
steep
and
slippery
at
the
beginning.
It
will
take
15-20
minutes
to
get
to
the
falls.
There
will
be
a
bench
there
for
viewing.
Upper
Deck
(via
Hobbiton):
walk/drive
about
2.5km
from
Main
Rd
via
Wolfridge
Rd.
Turn
left
to
go
up
to
the
Hobbiton.
There
will
be
a
sign
board
on
your
right
for
the
upper
deck.
It
will
be
a
steep
ascent
for
about
30min,
then
15-20
minutes
relatively
flat
trail
to
the
upper
deck.
Lower
Deck
(via
Hobbiton):
First
and
foremost
this
is
closed
to
the
public.
But
if
you
wish
to
proceed,
you
can
do
so
at
your
own
risk
as
there
will
be
no
one
around
to
stop
you.
Enter
the
"yellow
route"
at
the
very
corner
of
Hobbiton
(behind
the
obstacle
courses).
There
will
be
a
boardwalk
for
the
first
50m,
then
the
trail
will
split
into
2.
If
you
go
straight
you
will
end
up
at
the
thickets
and
is
blocked
by
fallen
trees.
If
you
turn
left,
it
will
lead
you
to
the
bridge
where
"yellow"
and
"red"
route
converges
(we're
not
sure
where
the
entrance/exit
to
red
route
is).
Then
go
further
up
and
the
trail
will
split
into
2.
The
one
going
up
is
thickety
and
is
blocked
by
a
couple
of
fallen
trees.
You
will
end
up
not
seeing
the
lower
deck
after
all.
The
one
going
left
is
when
you
decide
that
you
are
lost,
after
you
cross
the
bridge
crossing
the
river
you
will
exit
by
the
logging
area..
Then
turn
left
to
get
back
to
the
trail.
If
you
see
signboard
A,
don't
turn
right,
turn
left
then
you
will
be
back
to
where
you
started
safely...We
were
told
by
a
local
(after
the
hike)
that
the
trail
is
closed
as
it
is
not
well
maintained
and
because
some
people
are
polluting
the
water
which
the
locals
use
to
drink...We
got
lost
in
the
trail
at
least
4
times.
If
you
don't
admit
that
you
are
lost
then
you
will
be
going
in
the
wrong
direction
for
a
long
time..Just
use
the
river
as
a
guide
and
exit
by
the
logging
area
then
get
to
signboard
A
then
follow
instruction
above.
