If you follow the forest road south west from Tomich towards Cougie, you'll find a Forestry Commission car park and picnic site after about three miles.
From here you can walk down through the forest to view Plodda Falls as it plunges over a hundred feet into the deep river gorge below. A viewing platform has been built directly over the fall so you can walk out and look straight down the cascade.
It's impressive and I'd recommend you do it slowly if you suffer from vertigo.
Yesterday I decided that with all the recent rain it might be worth going the long way round to see the fall from the other side of the river.
The river below the falls is not easy to cross at the moment because of all the extra water so I went in from Garve bridge which is a bit of a trek with no paths. This made me later than I'd originally intended so the light was fading but still worth the effort.
