Triplet Falls - Victoria

The Triplet Falls are located in the Great Otway National park, near the Great Ocean road.
It normally has 3 flows of water cascading, depending on how much rain has fallen.

The Triplet Falls is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the Great Otway Park and offers a stunning one hour loop (2 km) walk through ancient rainforest. View the lower cascades as you follow raised walkways through the forest of Mountain Ash and Myrtle Beech to the main falls.
As you leave the forest you can begin to hear the roar of Triplet Falls where a series of elevated viewing platforms provide you with spectacular views of the three cascades.
This area is also the site of an original Otways timber mill.

The trail runs past the site and displays artifacts from the era.
