Triplet Falls is one of the
most spectacular waterfalls in
the Great Otway Park and offers
a stunning one hour loop walk
through ancient rainforest. View
the lower cascades as you
follow raised walkways through
the forest of Mountain Ash and
Myrtle Beech to the main falls.
As you leave the forest you can
begin to hear the roar of
Triplet Falls where a series of
elevated viewing platforms
provide you with spectacular
views of the three cascades.
This area is also the site of an
original Otways timber mill. The
trail runs past the site and
displays remnant artefacts from
the era.
Back
Off the Skenes Creek-Colac
Road; sign at Barramunga. Named
after a pioneer of the area,
these falls and the surrounding
river flats of the Gellibrand
River provide a delightful
setting. There is a camping
ground at the northern end of
the park and a picnic area
closer to the waterfall, with
toilets, barbecues and tables.
Allow about 90 minutes for the
two-kilometre return walk.
Back
Off Aire
Valley Road from Beech Forest
Road. The three-kilometre return
walking track from the picnic
area winds down to cool,
temperate rainforest surrounding
Deppeler Creek. The magnificent
falls plunge into a fern-fringed
pool. Walk takes about 90
minutes return.
