Marriners Falls was a small but quaint 7m waterfall nestled in the forest lands in back of the coastal town of Apollo Bay. It was the last waterfall we were able to squeeze in on a day when we…

Julie wasn’t too crazy about the weather as she had hoped to see the long awaited Twelve Apostles without this cold, Antarctic storm being blasted our way…

Hopkins Falls was our waterfalling excuse to visit the quieter west end of the Great Ocean Road near the coastal town of Warrnambool. It was a short but wide waterfall (said to be 11m high and…

MacKenzie Falls was hands down the best waterfalling experience we had while touring the west of Victoria that wasn’t along the Great Ocean Road. Not only did this waterfall impress us with its…

Silverband Falls was a waterfall that Julie and I didn’t seriously consider visiting given the drought that had a major impact on our waterfalling during our November 2006 trip. However, that…

Wannon Falls had that classic rectangular plunge that really pleased Julie since this was the type of waterfall she tended to like more than the others. As you can see from the photo above…

Nigretta Falls (a lady from the visitor centre in Hamilton pronounced it “NYE-gret-uh”) was pretty much a mandatory stop for us since it was very close to and easily accessible from Wannon Falls…

The day had begun with a disappointing Trentham Falls as it barely had any flow over its impressive basalt cliff. Then, we had difficulty finding Sailors Falls because it had been bone dry and…

Trentham Falls was one of the more well-known and popular waterfalls in the state of Victoria. And as you can see from the photo at the top of this page, it was little wonder why this was the case…

Sailors Falls was a convenient almost roadside waterfall situated in the Hepburn Regional Park just south of the historic town of Daylesford. As you can see from the photo at the top of this page…

Toorongo Falls was an impressively tall waterfall (I’m guessing at least 30m tall) with reliable flow on the Little Toorongo River. The smaller Amphitheatre Falls was on the adjacent Toorongo river.

Cyathea Falls was a short waterfall that was nestled deep in a Gippsland rainforest. Unfortunately, the falls wasn’t doing so well during our drought-stricken visit in November 2006…

Agnes Falls was an impressive multi-tiered waterfall in the quiet South Gippsland region. Both times we’ve been to this waterfall, it was seen as part of a long day trip that looped throughout…

Snobs Creek Falls (also known as just Snobs Falls) was a surprisingly reliably flowing waterfall that seemed to have defied the drought-stricken conditions that plagued most of our first visit…

Steavenson Falls had a lot of fanfare prior to our visit during a drought-stricken November 2006 trip to the southeast of Australia. When we first saw it, we could totally see why even…

Cora Lynn Falls was kind of a throw-in waterfall during our visit to Marysville and the nearby Steavenson Falls. We figured why not make the out-and-back detour to check out this waterfall…

…we were dismayed to find that the street we were supposed to take had closed… But when the next street came around, it too was closed. Then the next street and the next. What was going on?

Paddys River Falls was a gushing waterfall that defied our Australian Drought pessimism during our November 2006 visit to the southeastern parts of the country. We were especially surprised…

Woolshed Falls was a cascading waterfall over a granite surface that gave it an interesting multi-tiered characteristic. While the falls itself was attractive and reason alone to make a visit…

Newtown Falls was an unexpected waterfall attraction as it sat relatively hidden in the historic mining town of Beechworth. I noticed that in some of the literature out there, this waterfall may…
