The northeast, although not swimming in a vast amount of waterfalls, has a number of spectacular sites for visitors and locals alike to explore.
Start over in Beechworth before making your way to Yackandandah then head over to Cheshunt and Warby Ovens National Park to view some of the breathtaking water views our region has to offer.
Baranduda Waterfall
This waterfall which is located off Ewarts Road Yackandandah is a beautiful little waterfall that you can get right up close to. After rain particularly it is known to look spectacular and is around 20 metres from the road however it is not visible from it.
In an amazing location and only a short walk from where you will park your car, make sure to bring decent shoes as it is a little slippery under foot and good shoes are needed to get to the top.
Woolshed Falls
Woolshed Falls is a popular destination for visitors and locals to the region alike.
A ten-minute drive north from Beechworth, you can view the cascading falls, enjoy a picnic or take a walk around the gold workings.
There is also an observation deck which provides you full views of the falls as well as the valley below.
There are also shallow rock pools that you can dip your feet into but be very careful on the rocks as they are slippery all year round.
No matter the time of year, Woolshed Falls is a gorgeous waterfall to visit in a beautiful location which is great for a family walk/exploration and rock scrambling whilst also taking several photos amongst the rocks.
Paradise Falls
This waterfall situated on Paradise Falls Road Cheshunt is absolutely stunning with many reviews preparing people to be amazed.
The falls, although often only a trickle of water falling down except after heavy rainfalls, it is worth the drive just for the experience alone.
The falls which come down from the cliff of a large wave like cave structure is a very peaceful and interesting place with lovely views and a nice hike to reach the main aspect.
Briens Gorge and Pine Gully Falls – Warby-Ovens National Park
Both the Briens Gorge and Pine Gully Falls are situated in the Warby – Ovens National Park, located between the Victorian Alps and the Murray Valley.
The surroundings of Briens Gorge are lovely with interesting rocks and the water is unique, mysterious and enchanting as no stream of water leads from the base as it goes underground.
The Gorge is an easy place to get to.
Although no water streaming, it can be seen running between the rocks.
This is a picturesque place to unwind, get in touch with nature, explore and enjoy scenery.
The water can be seen running between the rocks.
Pine Gully Falls, a short distance away is a nice nature walk with great views and plenty of wildlife. Not a vast amount of water trickles along here however it does look spectacular with a deep gorge.
Mount Buffalo
Mount Buffalo has a number of picturesque waterfalls that are part of the mountain’s most popular attractions.
Crystal Brook Falls is one of the most well-known and visited as it falls around 200 metres from The Gorge rim and can be viewed from a section of the Gorge Heritage walking track.
Ladies Bath Falls which is at the base of Mount Buffalo is also a favourite location to cool off on a hot summers day with Eurobin Falls also following the track past the Ladies Bath pool. Eurobin Falls has viewing areas to see bother the lower and upper part of the falls.
Approximately 10km up the Mount Buffalo Road on the right is the the Rollason’s Falls track which is a beautiful walk down to the two waterfalls. At the bottom you will be able to admire or have a swim in the two deep and cool pools at the base of each waterfall.
