Wongarra - Carisbrook Falls

Take the 300m uphill walking track from the carpark which heads upwards along the eastern side of the gorge with views over Carisbrook Creek. There is a viewing area which provides views of the falls.

The falls are best seen after heavy rain since they aren't as impressive in the drier months of the year.

This is one of the highest falls in the Otway Ranges, but rather than a vertical drop, the water rushes down a diagonal rock face. The viewing platform is a fair way back and there is a distant and slightly obscured views of the falls. The base of the falls are not able to be safely accessed.

The track follows the side of a gully and leads to a lookout point with a seat. The water falls flows over rocks in a huge amphitheater of rocky bush covered slopes.

Location: Along the Great Ocean Road, between Kennett River and Skenes Creek (about 7 km west of Kennett River) keep an eye open for the gravel road to the Carisbrook Falls car park off the Great Ocean Road. The road is immediately east of the Carisbrook Creek bridge. The gravel road leads to a carpark after 60m. The walk to the lookout for the falls is about 15 minutes from the car park.
