Continue straight: From the intersection, this walk follows the ‘Three Sisters 400m’ arrow[15] downhill along the concrete path, keeping the valley to the right. After about 15m the walk leads past a stone seat (on the left), with a blue tongue lizard sculpture[16]. The walk continues gently downhill for another 60m to pass another sandstone seat (on the left). From here the path winds gently downhill for another 70m to find yet another sandstone seat (on the left). The path continues downhill for another 45m to find a clear intersection marked with a large ‘Three Sisters Walk’ sign[17]. On the right is a small flat loose gravel area with two seats.

Turn left : From the intersection, the walk follows the ‘Leura Cascades’ sign along the bush track, winding around through the bush and following the cliffs (further down the hill to the right) around the valley until coming to the intersection with the Lady Carrington Lookout track.
