Melbourne, Australia
Nigretta Falls

A heartland waterfall, where water dances from rock to rock instead of falling in one massive cascade.

If you ever find yourself in Melbourne during the heart of winter, Nigretta Falls is a natural phenomenon you won't want to miss. Calling the Southern Grampians Shire its home, water from the Wannon River are led through the nooks and crevices of the ancient rhyolitic volcanic rock, before re-embarking on their 10km journey that embraces the final plunge off Wannon Falls. At the falls itself, there are various viewing platforms that allows visitors a panoramic view of the waterfalls and its endless cascades that make quite a spectacular sight to behold.


While massive waterfall cascades tend to take one's breath away, during the wet season of Winter, the quiet Nigretta Falls makes for a more beguiling way to pass a cozy afternoon. With numerous tracks and walking trails surrounding the area, one could also opt to take a walk and be captivated by the wildlife and lush greenery that encompasses the area. Bring some blankets and some hot tea, snuggle by the banks of Nigretta, and remain captivated for hours by the waters leaping and twirling in orchestrated splendor.
