Waterfalls can be found throughout Victoria. The best time of year to see them is during winter and spring when higher rainfall ensures larger water flow along the rivers these falls are located on.
- Trentham Falls
- Located in the Macedon Ranges region near the small town of Trentham, these are the highest single-drop waterfall in Victoria, with the Coliban River plunging 32 metres over basalt cliffs.
- Erskine Falls
- The Erskine Falls are around a 10 minute drive inland from the popular coastal town of Lorne, within the lush Great Otway National Park. After a short walk from the car park, visitors can see the Erskine River as it tumbles over one of the highest drops in the Otway Ranges.
- Hopetoun Falls
- View the cascading waters of the Aire River from the viewing platform at car park, or take a longer walk down a steep path to the base of the Hopetoun Falls. They are located near the tiny community of Beech Forest, east of Lavers Hill and south of Colac.
- MacKenzie Falls
- The MacKenzie River flows out from Lake Wartook and through the Grampians National Park west of Halls Gap. Take a short walk from the car park to a lookout above the MacKenzie Falls, or get up and close by taking the steep trail which descends to the rockpool at the base of the falls. These waterfalls flow well even during summer and times of drought.
- Agnes Falls
- Situated inland from Port Welshpool and Toora in Strzelecki Ranges, the Agnes Falls are found in a scenic reserve where the Agnes River tumbles over rocks into a gorge. The falls viewing areas are very accessible, just a short walk from the car park.
- Toorongo Falls
- If you're on the way to Mt Baw Baw, stop off at the scenic tourist village of Noojee. Just out of town is the Toorongo Falls, set within a wet forest. While it's a bit of a hike through the bush to the falls from the car park (around 750 metres one way), you can get right up close to the falls at the observation platform near its base where the Little Toorongo River cascades down the rocks.
- Little River Falls
- Around 130 kilometres north of Lakes Entrance, via Buchan and Gelantipy, is the Little River Falls on Little River. Set within the Snowy River National Park, the viewing platform for the falls is just a short walk from the car park. A short drive from the falls is Victoria's deepest gorge - Little River Gorge - which is over 300 metres deep.
- Wannon and Nigretta Falls
- Both these falls are located on the Wannon River, just a short drive west of Hamilton in the south-west of the state. At the Wannon Falls, the river flows over a basalt lava shelf and then drops about 30 metres into a deep plunge pool. The smaller Nigretta Falls are set within a scenic bush reserve with steps that lead right to the base of the falls.
- Hopkins Falls
- Located on the Hopkins River north-west of Warrnambool, the Hopkins Falls plunge over 10 metres over dark basalt rocks into a series of pools. These falls are particularly interesting due to their huge width, providing a spectacular effect during periods of high rainfall and water flow.
