Burrong Falls

From the small Burrong Falls car park off Rose Creek Road, the track leads roughly 350 metres each way, or about 700 metres return, to the viewpoint. Most of the walk is a modest bush track with slopes, steps and uneven ground. Near the gorge, the route gets rougher. You can see the falls from the viewpoint; reaching the lowest pools means careful rock scrambling and is not part of the easy walk. Allow 30 to 45 minutes return if you stop for photos.

Winter and spring are the safest bet for a full cascade, and the falls can dry out through summer. Morning light tends to reach the falls well. On warm, still days, look for blue-tongued lizards sunning on the rocks, but treat wildlife as a bonus. The shallow pools are for looking and careful foot-wetting, not a proper swimming hole.

Rose Creek Road is gravel and the falls are about 25 kilometres west of Halls Gap. The car park is small. Bring water, sturdy shoes with grip, sun protection and a layer for changeable weather; there are no toilets or other visitor facilities at the falls. Dogs are not allowed at this national park site. If you are travelling with children, keep them at the viewpoint unless you are confident managing the exposed, slippery scramble around the gorge. This is a seasonal waterfall rather than a guaranteed year-round stop, so it is worth pairing with other western Grampians sights.
