Murrindindi Regional Tourism MURRINDINDI - VICTORIA - AUSTRALIA

Steavenson Falls and Marysville State Forest

Steavenson Falls, opened to tourists in 1866, are a magnificent sight both day and night. When the sun goes down, the Falls are flood lit by power generated from the river via the Falls' own hydro-electricity system. Travel in awe as you drive through the magnificent forest along Lady Talbot Forest Drive. Stop for a picnic lunch or a short rainforest walk along the way.

Walkers have been enjoying the panoramic views, fern filled gullies and magnificent eucalypt forests of the hills around Marysville for many years. There are a range of walks, to suit those seeking a scenic view or those seeking day-long walks.

The forests surrounding Marysville support a variety of native fauna species. These include swamp wallabies, wombats, antechinus, and several species of possum including the Leadbeaters possum, one of Victoria's faunal emblems.

Cora Lynn Falls

The walk toward the falls is lined with Tree Ferns beneath a thick canopy of Myrtle Beech (Nothofagus cunninghamii), with huge Mountain Ash towering above. The Cora Lynn Falls is a magical cascade in a most picturesque setting.

Phantom Falls

Aptly named as the water at the top of Waterfall appears from nowhere to spill over the rock face to join the main stream.

The Beeches

The Beeches is a wonderful rainforest walk that follows a well marked trail crossing the Taggerty River and the Whitehouse Creek. The River cascades over large boulders and winds it's way through the rainforest setting.

Keppel Falls

Can be viewed from the road or up close at the viewing platform over the river. 2km return walk.

The Murrindindi Cascades

Follow the path and you will come across a bridge where you will find a beautiful view of this lovely waterfall. Watch as the water flows over the rocks and down the river. The Cascades can be seen from the road and can be heard a mile away. The thundering and pounding of the rushing water over bolders will leave you breathless. If you walk past the bridge you will find yourself on a refreshing bush walk with big trees and ferns all around you with the constant reminder of the rushing river always present. It is a great way to spend a hot summers day.

Snobs Creek Falls

Situated in Snobs Creek Road, these spectacular falls are refreshingly relaxing in summer.

The pristine water cascades down through cool fern gullies and flows on to be an essential resource at the freshwater Discovery Centre, before Snobs Creek joins the Goulburn.

The track to the falls is clearly marked and hand rails and viewing platforms are in place. Snobs Creek Road leaves the Goulburn Valley Highway at the Eildon Holiday Resort corner. Ancient tree ferns and Arctic Beech Trees which form the natural habitat of the Lyrebird.
