Agnes Falls, Victoria: Walk length & best time of year to visit

The highest single span waterfall in Victoria – Agnes Falls near Toora in South Gippsland – is best seen in winter or after heavy rain. There’s an easy walking track from the Agnes Falls Scenic Reserve car park.

Agnes Falls in South Gippsland is the highest single span waterfall in Victoria. Buried within the green hills of the Strzelecki Ranges, this Gippsland waterfall sees the Agnes River plunge 59 metres down into a gorge.

Unlike some high waterfalls, Agnes Falls offers a wide cascade over the rocks rather than a dainty trickle. The setting in the Agnes Falls Scenic Reserve, a short drive from Toora or Welshpool, is also delightful.
