Sherbrooke Falls

Sherbrooke Falls sits deep within Sherbrooke Forest in the Dandenong Ranges National Park, roughly 45 km east of Melbourne.

Fed by Sherbrooke Creek, the falls are modest in scale — barely a metre wide and about two metres high — and are partially hidden by dense tree ferns, making them easy to miss from the viewing platform that crosses the creek.

The falls are best visited after sustained rain, when the flow is strongest and the surrounding rainforest comes alive with scent and wildlife.

The walk in passes towering Mountain Ash, lush ferns, and stringybark, and the area is well known as lyrebird habitat. Swamp wallabies, brush-tailed possums, and a variety of parrots may also be spotted along the trail.

Access is from O'Donohue Picnic Ground off Sherbrooke Road, with the falls reached via a 2. 4 km return walk on well-signposted tracks. A longer 6. 2 km circuit option is also available.
