💦 STEAVENSON FALLS 💦
 
Are you dreaming of getting back to nature? Long peaceful strolls, adventurous hikes and wondrous waterfalls?
 
Dozens of spectacular falls are dotted throughout Murrindindi Shire, each with a character and timeless beauty of its own. Some are easily accessible via a short walk, while others call for a little more effort to reap the rewards.
 
Spring is the perfect time to explore our waterfalls, which is why each Wednesday we’ll be featuring a different one, including what makes it unique and why you should visit it.
 
First up is the iconic Steavenson Falls, located in Marysville. Enjoy an easy stroll (350 metres) and be rewarded by the sight of these impressive 84 metres cascading falls. Along the way, you will pass a historic hydroelectric turbine and cross a scenic bridge that offers a unique vantage point from the far side of the river.
 
For those seeking a little more challenge, follow the stone steps up to the Steavenson Falls walking track as it winds up the side of the hill to the top viewing platform. From here you can look down onto the falls and take in an impressive view of the Steavenson River Valley, covered in ferns and trees.
 
For a truly magical experience, visit after dusk when the falls are beautifully floodlit until midnight.

Eildon is one of Australia’s most popular freshwater fishing and water-sport destinations. No guesses why, this place is magic!

1️⃣ LAKE EILDON
Lake Eildon is perfect for boating, jet skiing and water-skiing, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, fishing and swimming.

2️⃣ HIKING
Lake Eildon National Park has a range of hiking options, from shorter nature trails to longer 4-8 hour hikes to summits and heritage huts that you need to be prepared for with sturdy shoes, food and water.

3️⃣ CAMPING
The Fraser Block campgrounds within the National Park have recently been upgraded, including new toilet blocks at Lakeside, Candlebark and Devil Cove - so it’s the perfect time to book your next camping adventure.

4️⃣ LOOKOUTS
Enjoy some of the epic roadside lookouts to take in the majesty of Lake Eildon, the Dam wall and surrounding peaks, including Foggs and Skyline Road Lookouts.

5️⃣ EILDON PONDAGE
The perfect place to have a picnic, throw in a line, take a stroll or bike ride, relax on the banks, watching the birds swim around each other.

😍 And if you’re visiting on the right weekend, the Eildon Twilight Market is a must-do, with food trucks, breweries, distilleries, arts, crafts and live music on offer.
