Steavenson Falls

Just outside the rebuilt town of Marysville, Steavenson Falls tumbles eighty-four metres down a series of rocky ledges, among the highest waterfalls in Victoria. A gentle, well-graded path follows the river through tall wet forest to a viewing platform at the base, and the falls are floodlit into the evening by their own small hydro generator. The mountain-ash country here was scorched in the 2009 fires and has regrown in a vivid green flush. It is an easy, beautiful walk within reach of the Black Spur drive.
