Tarra Valley - Tarra Falls
Tarra Falls is located in the Tarra Bulga National Park which features lush fern-filled gullies, giant Mountain Ash and ancient Myrtle Beech. Visitors have long enjoyed strolling along one of the nature walks or picnicking beside a shady fern-lined creek.
Steps lead down from the road to a view point of the falls from the side. The falls sprawl down a rock slope.
These falls are within 1km of the starting point for the walk to Cyathea Falls.
Access for Dogs:
Cats and dogs are not permitted within the park.
Location and Access
Tarra Bulga National Park is situated approximately 200 kilometres east of Melbourne. The park is reached from the Princes Highway at Traralgon by following Traralgon Creek Road to Balook. Alternatively the park can be reached from Yarram via the Tarra Valley Road. Roads throughout the area are narrow and winding but offer marvellous scenery with panoramic views from several points, including Mount Tassie.
The falls are located about 1km south of the Tarra Valley picnic area which is the starting point for a walk to Cyathea Falls.
Review:
There is a carparking area beside the Tarra Valley Road and a sign pointing to the falls which are immediately beside the road. The falls can be viewed from two viewing platforms connected by rock steps, although getting to the lower platform requiring dodging a huge trunk of a tree fern.
Water slides down a long sloping rock face. There was a good flow of water even though it was the end of January when we visited.
