Erskine Falls
A rainforest waterfall about 30 metres high near Lorne, surrounded by tree ferns and moss. About 250 steps lead down to its base.
Erskine Falls lies about 10 km from Lorne and is one of the best-known waterfalls in Great Otway National Park. A viewing platform above the car park overlooks the falls, and a 5-minute descent of steps leads to a lower viewing platform for a closer look at the spray. The steps are wet and steep, and the return trip is uphill. Fit visitors can walk the Erskine River trail from Lorne, about 7.5 km return. Entry is free, and the falls are most impressive in winter and spring, when water flow is abundant.
