Olinda Falls

A gentle walk through towering mountain ash forest to a beautiful waterfall in the Dandenong Ranges just 45 minutes from Melbourne. The falls cascade down a fern-lined cliff into a cool pool surrounded by lush temperate rainforest. Tree ferns and myrtle beech create a canopy overhead filtering the light into a green glow. The trail is well maintained and suitable for families making it one of the most accessible waterfall walks near Melbourne.

Trail can be muddy and slippery after rain. Leeches are present in wet weather. Best flow after good rainfall. Combine with a visit to the nearby Olinda village for coffee and galleries.
