Silverband Falls, Waterfall in Grampians National Park, Victoria, Australia

Silverband Falls is a waterfall in Grampians National Park where water flows down a vertical rock face. The water creates a thin, silvery ribbon pattern as it descends, which is how the falls got their name.

Early European explorers named this falls after noticing how the narrow stream of water resembled a silver band cascading down the rock. The name has remained unchanged and reflects their initial impression of this natural feature.

The falls lie within Grampians National Park, in western Victoria. The name comes from early European visitors, who called it Silverband for its narrow stream of water. Dairy Creek feeds the falls, and the creek reappears about 50 metres west of them.

The falls sit in Grampians National Park, west of Melbourne in western Victoria. A short walking trail leads from the Silverband Falls Car Park on Silverband Road to the viewing area. The stream is narrow and can shrink to a trickle in dry spells, so check conditions before setting out.

The water disappears into the ground at the base of the falls and resurfaces about 50 meters further downstream. This unusual geological feature shows how water flows beneath the surface in this part of the Grampians.
