Description:
There is an alternative route to bypass the closed suspension bridge.
About 500 meters before the falls on the Roseberry side there is a single track on the RH side. The track descends steeply to the valley floor but is rideable, a small bridge is crossed and then things get interesting. Follow an ancient trail (some pink tape shows the way for a while), numerous switchbacks eventually lead you to a spot about 300 meters past the bridge on the Melba Flats track. This route is around 2-3ks is very indistinct in places and requires lots of carrying bikes over fallen trees etc and very little riding. Takes about an hour.

There will always be mud and water on this track but at the moment it's probably the best condition you will find it in. view

Pretty wet with lots of washovers and ruts filled with water, however they are all very solid bottoms and I was just riding straight through them,... view

 I tried to follow this from the other side, I'm pretty sure I found the path but after a pretty hard slog to follow I wasn't confident I was on the right path and bailed. I was by myself and seemed to be heading in the wrong direction...

You don't happen to have a GPX file?
