Tarra Falls in the Tarra Valley sneaks into my top 5 because it
is so easy to reach.
Winding along the Tarra Valley Road, 20 km north-west of Yarram, the falls are only a few steps away from the turnout on the side
of the road. Best after heavy rainfall, this long, sloping waterfall is still worth a look at any time.

Cyathea Falls in the Tarra Valley comes in at number 4 because it
is such a lovely rainforest walk to the falls, with a calm, restful space at the end of the walk for quiet reflection and contemplation. It can be popular
on weekends, so meditate a bit quicker if you see lots of cars in the car park.

Some people might have expected
Agnes Falls near Toora to be my favourite waterfall.
It is by far the most popular waterfall in South Gippsland because of its impressive height within an incised valley, multiple levels and segments,
with well maintained access paths and picnic facilities. A must-visit on every South Gippsland holiday itinerary that would have ranked higher if you could access the water.

Easily accessible from the Latrobe Valley
Narracan Falls is my second favourite waterfall,
on the northern edge of the Strzeleckis. It comes with its own herd of cows, a reliable flow of water all year round, and the ability to both wander down to the edge
of the waterfall pool and clamber over the rockface upstream in spots that are incredibly close to the water.

Minnehaha Falls was a surprising little waterfall for me that is my favourite waterfall
in the Strzelecki Ranges.
North-west of Yarram, on the Albert River, the falls flow over a craggy rockface with skinny pine trees clinging to the edge, nestled within
a fairly steep valley. Apart from its aesthetics, the features that pushed it into the number one spot were the free campground and a swimmable pool at the base of the falls.

There are plenty more waterfalls in the Strzelecki Ranges, with Turtons Falls and Morwell Falls being the other two more popular falls to visit.
I hope you can experience all of these waterfalls in the Strzelecki Ranges and appreciate them for their unique qualities.
Before you head out, make sure to read the
waterfall safety information.
