Similar in some ways to Horseshoe Falls (which is further upstream), Oaklands Falls drops over a wide ledge that you can walk under, and has a resident glow worm colony that you see at night. The falls were named after the nearby Oaklands Farm, and were promoted as a tourist attraction from late 1918.
You can easily walk under the wide ledge and behind the waterfall.
Above the creek and waterfall is another high and wide overhang, which makes a nice spot for a break.
Getting to Oaklands Falls
A walking track was constructed from Horseshoe Falls to Winbourne Road via Oaklands Falls and Burgess Falls in 1918, making it a 2.2km return walk from Oaklands Road or 2km return from Winbourne Road. The scenic 4.5km Burgess Falls Track bushwalk passes these falls, and four more waterfalls. Either trailhead is about a 1:30min drive from Sydney, or 5 minutes from Hazelbrook town centre.
