There are six stunning falls to explore within around half an hour from town, so be sure to add chasing waterfalls to your list of things to do on your next visit.
The Blowhole, Hepburn
Known as The Blowhole, this diversion tunnel was built by miners in the 19th century to divert water from a section of Sailors Creek. This diversion cut off a loop where the remaining dry creek bed was then extensively worked for gold.
The gold diversion tunnel has created a pretty little man-made waterfall with a scenic swimming hole beneath it!
When the creek is flowing from winter to early summer, water rushes through the tunnel and falls into a small pool below before continuing down the scenic Sailors Creek.

Loddon Falls, Glenlyon
The gorgeous Loddon Falls drops dramatically over a wall of huge hexagonal basalt columns into a swimming hole below, before continuing on through the spectacular rocky gorge.
This stunning hidden gem is hidden away in Glenlyon and offers beautiful views along with a scenic walk.
