Impressive Erskine Falls
Erskine Falls is one of the best known waterfalls of the Otway Ranges and is certainly among the most visited. The falls are also the highest single drop of all the otway waterfalls. Large visitor numbers are due not only to the impressive nature of the falls, but also due to its close proximity to Lorne, one of the main tourist centres of the Great Ocean Road. You will struggle to get some 'alone time' with the waterfall, as a constant stream of visitors take the short but steep walk to the two viewing platforms. The first platform is only 80m from the carpark, and offers an elevated view similar to that of Hopetoun Falls' upper platform. The second platform is a further 150m down steep and sometimes slippery steps, so take care and take your time in wet conditions. There is a track that heads downstream from the falls into lush rainforest, but it is recommended for experienced walkers. Erskine Falls --> Beautiful Waterfalls Page
