Ten of the best waterfalls in Victoria now enjoying winter flows
Victoria's recent wet weather and record rainfall have created the best conditions to check out some of the state's waterfalls.
Victoria's charming waterfalls, while not as grand as those in Congo, Zambezi, or Niagara, offer a unique rugged appeal, thanks to recent record-breaking rainfall. Regional Victoria's waterfalls, scattered across Southern Grampians, Otway Ranges, South Gippsland, and the Victorian high country, are currently putting on a show that's best enjoyed now before a potential El Niño dries them up.
Federation University's Professor Andrew Barton explained that while the spectacle is beautiful, it won't last more than a few months. Travel guide Undiscovered Victoria has catalogued 50 of Victoria's more than 100 named waterfalls that can be accessed by walking track. Bailey Dillon, co-author and publisher, praised these waterfalls for their variety and the unique journey they offer.
Many of Victoria's waterfalls, formed over thousands to hundreds of thousands of years, showcase the powerful interaction between fast-flowing water and hard or soft geology.
