Phantom Falls Walk

3.4 km return

1 h to 1 h 30 min

Phantom Falls Walk

1 h to 1 h 30 min

Starting near the Allenvale Carpark on Allenvale Road, this walk follows a track along the Saint George River leading to Phantom Falls and back. The path to the falls starts past a few houses and fields, following along the luscious river bank and then up through the forest. The diverse scenery, the lush nature and the wonderful Pantom Falls are all highlights of this walk. Many birds can be seen and heard, and wild kangaroos can also be spotted grazing through the trees along the way. The best time to see the falls in full flow is during winter and autumn, as they can dry up in summer. The trail can get quite muddy and slippery, and appropriate footwear is recommended. The last section has a steep 500m uphill climb, but seeing the waterfall up close makes the effort worthwhile. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Won Wondah Falls and Henderson Falls Walk

1 h to 1 h 45 min

Starting near the Sheok Picnic Area, in the Great Otway National Park, this walk takes you past Won Wondah Falls, to Henderson Falls and back via the Nature Loop track. Amble along a gentle uphill track through dense wet forest shadowed by towering eucalypt trees to reach Won Wondah Falls. Further along, the journey ends in the midst of a fern gully at the base of Henderson Falls, where you can watch the falls cascade over a moss-capped cliff face to a small pool below. Although the track is flat and relatively easy, it can get extremely muddy and slippery after rainfall.

Erskine Falls Extended Loop

21 km circuit

7 h to 11 h

Erskine Falls Extended Loop

This walk starts near the Allenvale Road Carpark, at the end of Allenvale Road, Lorne, looping along the Otway Ranges following the Erskine River. Embark on a hike that takes you past Phantom Falls, the Cora Lynn Cascades, Lemonade Creek, Erskine Falls, Straw Falls, Splitter Falls and the Erskine River Rapids. Navigate through lush green foliage and mossy forest, with the gentle sound of the running stream throughout the hike. The walk is long and challenging, but at each waterfall, you are rewarded with spectacular views of water cascading over cliff faces. The trail is quite muddy and damp in some places. There are many river crossings across really slippery rocks, but with the help of hiking poles and some cautious stepping, you can make it through without wet shoes. This walk should not be attempted when the water levels are high. Dogs are allowed on a small portion of this trail, but most of the loop is in Great Otway National Park, which generally does not allow dogs. There is a campsite en route, and this hike can be completed with an overnight stop. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
