Gooram Falls, Euroa, VIC
Waterfall Seasons - The Waterfall Guide


 
Gooram Falls is a series of two cascades in Seven Creeks separated by a flat section of around 20 metres in length. You can walk right up to these falls in dry conditions and have a birds eye view from beside the creek in wet conditions.

To view the upper falls, you need to walk over the large granite boulder in the relatively clear area, about 200 metres along on the right hand side of the track from the upper car park. Don't worry if you miss it, because the track winds down to the lower falls.
From there you can easily follow a separate track beside the river back up to the upper falls. When the rock is dry you can sit beside the creek and watch the falls as you dangle your feet in the water.

There are two car parks from which you can walk to the falls. The walking distance from each car park to the falls is the same, at around 400 metres, however if it has been raining, the track from the lower car park can get quite boggy. The walk from the upper car park runs along side a fast flowing section of the river and is quite picturesque, whereas the walk from the lower car park runs alongside a flat, slow moving anabranch of the main river that isn't much to look at.
The only advantage of the lower car park is that is has a pit toilet, so if you have to go, you need to walk down there anyway.

The creek here is officially named Seven Creeks, not Seven Creek, because of the seven creeks that form the headwaters of this creek. Also, according to a 1908 article in the Euroa Advertiser, the nearby town of Euroa derives its name from the Aboriginal word "Yera-O" which means joyful.

Here is a video of the falls, taken in the early morning in July, when the creek was high, but not in flood:

Comments:
Here is one personal account of visiting the falls which shows how fond people are of this spot after discovering it:

"Took my 8 year old son there in July and he loved jumping around on the rocks. We went to the upper section. It was fine for a toyota corolla to drive in and just off the main road. Very pretty but a long walk to the toilets at the other car park." - J.Weber, New South Wales, Australia 7/7/2015
