Turret Falls

Turret Falls is located in The Grampians National Park. It is a beautiful twin waterfall cascading over the terraced rocks into the gorge below. Turret 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 - 2.4 kilometres - 1 Hour - Medium

The walk starts from the Wonderland Carpark, and the track to Turret Falls is towards the back of the carpark near a picnic bench. The well-maintained dirt track meanders through the bush, with steps along the way. If you do this walk in Spring, there are lovely wildflowers along the edge of the track.

With incredible views, you continue over several rocky sections alongside the cliffs. This part of the track also has several steps and steep sections as you head uphill. The track then winds alongside the gorge until you reach a small bridge crossing the river.

This brings you to the top of Turret Falls, and you can see the creek running along a rocky outcrop before dropping into the gorge below. Continue on the track, bringing you to the other side of the gorge and the front of Turret Falls. There are several rock seats where you can sit and admire the view.

You can also scramble down several areas to get to the base of the falls.
