Triplet Falls

Triplet Falls is celebrated for its distinctive three-tiered cascade structure that flows over moss-covered rocks through pristine cool temperate rainforest in the Great Otway National Park. The accessible boardwalk and viewing platform make it one of the most photographed and visited waterfalls in the Otways region.

Winter and spring (June–November) offer the highest water flow after seasonal rainfall, making the falls most spectacular. Please verify on the official website before you go.

From the car park, follow the well-marked boardwalk path that descends gently through cool temperate rainforest. The trail forms a loop — you can take either direction, but most visitors go anticlockwise. Approximately halfway around the loop, wooden stairs descend to the main viewing platform directly in front of the three-tiered cascade. Return via the same loop track to the car park.
