Melbourne Bushwalkers invites you to join them on an exploration of Cumberland River and Lorne Waterfalls. This walk is part of the Try Bushwalking Month, celebrating the 90th Anniversary of Bushwalking Victoria, the peak body representing 60+ bushwalking clubs across Victoria. Tucked away behind the sea-side resort of Lorne are a myriad of cascades and waterfalls that form part of the rugged beauty of the Angahook Lorne State Park. Along the way visits will be made to a combination of Cumberland Falls, Kalimna Falls, Henderson Falls, Won Wondah Falls and Sheoak Falls according to the grade of the walk and our progress on the day, taking in some of the most beautiful river valleys of the Otways.
DISTANCE: 13km easy-medium group; (19 km medium group) Return walk that will take 4 -5 hrs.
WHO IS THIS WALK FOR? The easier of the 2 walks may be suitable for beginners with some walking experience. Accessing the waterfalls involves numerous river crossings and some scrambling over rock, and walkers need to have suitable footwear and be prepared.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The Fee for the Melbourne Bushwalkers Sunday Bus is $30. To pay and secure a seat after confirmation of registering interest through Bushwalking Victoria, participants must visit our clubrooms on either of the two Wednesdays before the walk and talk to one of the leaders.
