Wondrous Waterfalls Trail

Are you dreaming of getting back to nature? Long peaceful strolls, challenging hikes and wondrous waterfalls? From the iconic Steavenson Falls in Marysville to lesser-known Wombelano Falls in Kinglake, and everything in between, we invite you to take a road trip and uncover some of the most beautiful waterfalls in Victoria.

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 stroll, while others call for a little more effort to reap the rewards.

Lucky visitors may spot lyrebirds at Masons Falls in Kinglake National Park, while others take in the awe-inspiring views from the platform at the impressive single long drop that is Snobs Creek Falls on the way to Eildon.

For a scenic drive, follow the Taggerty River as it winds its way through the valley floor on a well-maintained gravel road known as Lady Talbot Drive, just outside Marysville, stopping to see the cascades at Phantom and Keppel Falls along the way.

Experience a range of bushwalking and camping options at Murrindindi Scenic Reserve, with the spectacular Wilhelmina Falls dropping 75 metres down a steep granite rock face. It’s a decent trek to reach this one, but well worth the energy once you’re there.

Put these and others on your bucket list for one jam-packed weekend on Taungurung and Wurundjeri Country, or tick them off one at a time. Pack a picnic full of local goodies, settle in at one of the state or national park reserves for a BBQ, or call in to one of the cafés, breweries, cellar doors and historic country pubs along the way to relax and refuel.
