Toorongo Falls Reserve

Toorongo Falls Reserve is a nature reserve featuring two distinct waterfalls, with the main cascade dropping 25 meters through dense forest alongside the Little Toorongo River. The thick vegetation and constant moisture from the falling water create a lush woodland environment throughout the reserve.

The land was home to different Aboriginal nations for thousands of years before becoming a protected reserve. It marks the boundary between the Wurundjeri territory to the west and the Braiakaulung tribe of the Gunai Nation to the east.

The place holds deep meaning for Aboriginal peoples of the region, with heritage sites scattered throughout that speak to their long presence here. Visitors walking through the forest today can sense this connection as they move through the quiet landscape.

A loop walking track of about 2.2 kilometers connects both waterfalls and provides viewing platforms at key spots. The path is well-maintained and takes visitors to all the main attractions within the reserve.

The wet forest conditions allow uncommon fern species to flourish, such as necklace fern and long fork-fern found nowhere else in this region. These plants thrive only in the damp environment created by the constant waterfall spray and moisture.
