Erskine Falls

Reviewed By aok47 - Melbourne, Australia

Nice drive up to the falls followed but a short walk to see them. Be prepared for steep steps awkwardly spaced so if you have leg joint issues dont take on the steps. Once down you can try and walk across the creek and closer to the falls but beware it can be very slippery.

2. Teddy's Lookout

Teddy's Lookout

Reviewed By RobSwindon69 - Crewkerne, United Kingdom

Only 5 minutes or so off the Great Ocean Road with a small car park and very short walk to the lookout point which offers a stunning view of the coastline and Great Ocean Road. Worth combining with Erskine Falls which is only a short drive away.

Lower and Upper Kalimna Falls

Well worth the trip, the track leading to it can be quite muddy in winter so make sure you’re wearing appropriate footwear unlike myself at the time but so glad I went

Cora Lynn Cascades Walk

Reviewed By LornaViking - Melbourne, Australia

I feel like I need to write this review for those of us who are unfit, since other reviews say how easy this walk is. The return walk is a killer. I cannot count how many times I had to stop and let my heart rate settle before I could move on. I am capable of walking very long distances on flat land but this 2km constant incline absolutely destroyed me. Decide for yourself if you are fit enough, or willing to swallow your pride and stop every 50m to recover. Having said that! The walk was stunning, there are some incredibly tall and impressive trees to stop and admire. The Cascades themselves are lovely and I had the place to myself. The hike doesn't seem as popular as others in the area so you may well have the perfect quiet hike with only you and the birds singing. I think it would be more difficult in wetter months as I could tell the track is prone to being muddy and slippery. Wear appropriate shoes/gumboots and take hiking poles if you're unsteady on your feet. The scenery was worth the effort and I'll definitely be back once I've spent a few hours on the Stairmaster. ????

Sheoak Falls

Reviewed By andftitri - Jakarta, Indonesia

The waterfall is a bit hidden from road. There is a parking spot and you have to walk about 15 minutes along the river under the road. The waterfall has platform and chair where you can sit and enjoy the pretty of waterfalls.
