Updated: May 12

Splitters Falls

Splitters Falls is located in The Grampians National Park. It is a lovely 12-metre waterfall cascading over the terraced rocks into the gorge below. Splitters Falls is a seasonal waterfall.

The Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park is 260 kilometres west of Melbourne and has fantastic hiking trails, beautiful waterfalls, superb lookouts and a large variety of birds and wildlife.

The Grampians are five stunning sandstone ridges that run north to south. On the eastern side, they have steep and rugged slopes, while on the west side, they have gentler slopes.

The Walk - 1.4 kilometres - 45 Minutes - Medium

The walk starts from the Wonderland Carpark. The track to Splitters Falls is on the left before the trail to The Pinnacles. The narrow dirt track meanders through the bush, with several rocky sections. If you do this walk in Spring, there are lovely wildflowers along the edge of the track.

You then continue over several rocky sections alongside the cliffs, with amazing views of the river and some small cascades. The track then heads down into a gorge with a small bridge over the river.

After crossing the river, there are extensive steps to climb up and enjoy the beautiful views. You then follow the path along the cliff tops until you reach another bridge. From this bridge, it is only 100 metres through the bush until you reach the lovely Splitters Falls.
