Burrong Falls, Grampians NP, VIC
Waterfall Seasons - The Waterfall Guide


 
Burrong Falls is in a relatively remote part of the Grampians. The falls are nestled in dense bush that is accessed by a 300 m long walking track from the car park. The grade to the falls viewing area is flat, but the last 20 m down to the water is a tricky scramble down the gorge wall. If you have been bush camping in the Grampians, then how about a bush shower (soap free, of course, so as not to pollute the river).

Burrong Falls consists of a series of steps ranging from 1-5 m in height, but stretching more than 20 m in width. On the ledges of the larger steps are paddling pools that you can sit in and let the water fall on your head while your feet dangle over the edge of the next step.
If you sit quietly, you are likely to see a few blue tongue lizards come out to bake themselves on the rocks.

The falls are off the beaten track and less frequented by tourists, which somehow makes the experience of being there more intimate than its famous cousin McKenzie Falls. There are no large pools at Burrong Falls, but it is still a great spot for a splash, shower and to take in the sunshine.
