1. Kinglake National Park
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 10 reviews
Kinglake National Park lies on the slopes of the Great Dividing Range, a short drive from Melbourne. Keep an eye out for native birds as you enjoy scenic walks, thrilling mountain bike trails and picnics against the backdrop of panoramic views. Go mountain biking on the diverse and technical downhill trail at Bowden Spur or drive up to Mount Sugarloaf for panoramas over Melbourne’s skyline. Enjoy a picnic or barbecue in the surrounds of tall eucalypts before embarking on a short walk to Masons Falls. See water cascading over the sheer mudstone walls, which are fossilised sea beds. The Gums Camping area is nestled among tall eucalyptus forest and by a tranquil mountain stream. Camp or bring your caravan or camper for a comfortable stay.

Took a day trip to Kingslake on the last day of my trip to Melbourne, just sad we didn’t go sooner. A fantastic place for a picnic and to have a relaxing day with brilliant nature walks. All of the pathways are well maintained as are the toilets, bbq and picnic facilities. I mainly enjoyed the walk to the platform took around 45 minutes return journey but was well worth it. The scenery on the way and way back was extraordinary and once on the platform it was just breath taking to see so much greenery and nature, not to mention the star of the show, a beautiful waterfall. To anyone who wants a less busy and relaxing day surrounded by Australia nature…. Go here! Also couldn’t remember the name but there was a little café/bakery at the end of the access road, pop in here if you have the chance. Food was lovely.

I enjoyed the very peaceful and serene walk from the picnic ground to the viewing platform through green forest and fern gullies, with the sound of birds chirping and water flowing in the background. What a zen-like experience, it melts all the stress away and giving your eyes a well-deserved rest from staring at the computer/mobile phone. It's an easy walk to the view platform which offers a clear view of the multi-tiered waterfall with white gushing water glistens against the sleek, dark-coloured mudstone steps. I enjoying soaking myself in these beautiful natural scenery. Parking can be a little challenging as the parking lot is not big. I arrived just before 12:00pm on Saturday and the car park was almost full already with 1 or 2 spots left. So I'll recommend get there before 12 pm.

We went for a wander around the circuit which takes in the falls. Very peaceful, not the hardest walk but alittle steep in places. Very quiet compared to it's more famous neighbor Mason Falls.
