In earlier times cows are rumored to have come here because it is cool.
The falls are on Dry Creek which runs through the park.

"First we did the short walk to the Cowsheds. There's a small waterfall there, plus a good look at how the shale has eroded below the limestone leaving an overhanging ledge to the left of the waterfall. Interesting if you like geology."
