Plunging 60 metres through a narrow cleft in the granite face of Mount Buffalo, Eurobin Falls is one of Victoria’s most photogenic waterfalls. The short walk to the lookout is family-friendly, and the constant mist keeps the surrounding ferns lush even in summer. It’s a classic stop on a Mount Buffalo drive, offering a cool retreat and a classic picnic spot.
Highlights & What to See
- Eurobin Falls Lookout – A 20-minute return walk from the car park leads to a platform with direct views of the twin cascades. Morning light catches the spray perfectly.
- Mount Buffalo National Park – The falls are the park’s most famous attraction. The plateau above offers granite tors, snow gums, and the historic Mount Buffalo Chalet.
- Lady Bath Falls – A short detour from the main road leads to a smaller, swimmable pool (no lifeguard).
- The Gorge Walk – A more challenging 1.5-hour hike that traces the creek below the falls, passing boulder gardens and cascades.
Suggested Time to Spend
Allow 30 minutes for the lookout walk and photos. To fully experience the park, combine the falls with a drive to the Chalet and a short walk on the plateau – budget half a day. If you’re keen on longer hikes, set aside a full day to explore the gorge and summit trails.
