Triplet Falls walk

Access to Triplet Falls is via a 1.8km loop walk that heads through the rainforest from the Triplet Falls car park.

The Triplet Falls Walk takes you through myrtle beech and mountain ash forest, plus an old timber mill. Near the mill site are a smattering of artefacts from the timber days.

But the highlight of the walk, of course, is when you emerge from the forest and see Young Creek crashing downwards in three distinct sections. There are a series of lookout platforms, elevated to give better views of this Great Ocean Road waterfall.

Unfortunately, you can’t realistically swim at Triplet Falls.
