Agnes Falls Waterfall

Address: Agnes Falls Reserve, McKillop St, Toora/near Foster region, Victoria, Australia

Hours: Open 24 hours

Admission: Free

Agnes Falls is a waterfall in the South Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia, and is noted as the highest single-drop waterfall in the state.

The falls drop approximately 59 metres in a single plunge into a steep, forested gorge. A short walking track and an established viewing platform allow visitors to view the falls from above and from viewpoints along the track.

The falls are formed by the Agnes River cutting through local bedrock and have long been a local natural attraction; infrastructure such as viewing platforms and tracks was installed to provide safe public access.

Situated near the small town of Toora in Gippsland, the falls lie in south-eastern Victoria and are commonly visited on day trips from regional centres.

• Height and flow: The waterfall has a single drop of about 59 metres and is most impressive after periods of heavy rain.

What to See#

• Viewing platform and track: A viewing platform and short walking track that give visitors direct views over the falls and downstream gorge.

Agnes Falls sits in South Gippsland, Victoria. From Leongatha or Foster, drive along regional roads toward the small community of Toora; follow local signage to Agnes Falls Reserve (Agnes Falls Road). The falls are a short walk (under 500 metres) from the carpark and roadside viewing area.

• Park at the small carpark on Agnes Falls Road and take the short 300-500m walk to the viewing platform - the lower track can be dangerously slippery after rain.
• Bring binoculars; the viewing platform offers good lines on the 59-metre drop, and birdlife frequents the surrounding eucalypts.
• Avoid weekends in spring and summer if a quiet photograph is desired - local families often picnic here.
