In the late 1800s, early European settlers recognised the area as a natural wonder and started cutting the track in 1878. Earlier, in 1876, the settlers established the first reserves around the area of the falls, for public viewing. During the construction of the trail, they initially built [[bridge]]s across the [[Stream|streams]], but they were destroyed in [[flood]]s or [[wildfire]]s. Today, bolts and remnants of wood of the bridges can still be found in the creek crossings. Construction of the track finished in 1900. |
