The afternoon opens in green light: a narrow road through Westmoreland's countryside, rumble of the van fading as the river's voice grows. At Mayfield Falls the forest leans in close, and the water dares you forward — a series of twenty-one stepped pools that thread along the Mayfield River to a three‑meter cascade locals call the "Washing Machine." Visitors move through cool, waist‑deep channels and over slick rock ledges to crawl behind the main curtain and feel the jets push at their shoulders.
