Murrindindi - Murrindindi Cascades
One of the larger and more spectacular cascades in the area. The lower steel viewing platform is a short seven minute walk down the gravel track and steel stairway from the carpark / Day Visitor area. The visitor area has toilets, shelter with table and wood fire pits.
The Cascades is located at the Murrindindi Cascades Visitor Area, 11.4 km along the gravel Murrindindi Road.

Review:
A fantastic area with a series of spectacular cascades flowing over granite boulders including some high drops. The track, which has a lot of steps, leads down to a bridge across the river where there are nice views of the bottom of the cascades. On the way down there are three side branch tracks which lead down to the river where you can scramble across rocks and access the river.
At the bridge the Murrindindi River Walk continues along the river (23.2km return).
Other attractions in the area are Wilhelmina Falls and Wirrawilla Rainforest Walk
