Hazel Park - Agnes Falls - West & South Gippsland

Hazel Park - Agnes Falls

Hidden within the green rolling hills of the Strzelecki Ranges, the meandering Agnes River cascades over rocks into a deep picturesque gorge. At 59m, Agnes Falls are the highest single span falls in Victoria. After heavy rain the river falls as a spectacular cascade into the gorge.

Enjoying the Reserve

Cool waters from trickling mountain streams drain the southern slopes of the Strzelecki Ranges before flowing into the meandering Agnes River. After heavy rain the river falls as a spectacular cascade into the gorge. Upstream from the falls, the Agnes River forms part of the Toora Water Supply Catchment.

Walks and views

A short 200 metre walking track leads from the car park to a viewing area overlooking the falls. Watch along the way for birds darting between bushes and the diverse range of vegetation present. Rest on the seats provided and enjoy the view within the gorge.

Picnicking

A small picnic ground set amongst the tall shady Blue Gums on the grassy banks of the Agnes River makes a delightful setting for a picnic.

Access for Dogs:

Dogs must be on a leash at all times.

Location and Access

Agnes Falls Scenic Reserve is situated 160km south-east of Melbourne. The waterfall is reached from the South Gippsland Highway at Toora by following Silcocks Hill Road, Hazel Park Road and Agnes Falls Road. Alternatively the reserve can be reached from Welshpool via Slade Hill Road and Hazel Park Road. These approach roads provide extensive views across Corner Inlet to the peaks of Wilsons Promontory.

Review:

It is only a 200m walk from the car-park to a viewing area overlooking the falls. The waterfall is very impressive in terms of height and flow, especially after rain. It is possible to have a picnic here and there are toilets.
