Street/Lorne Foreshore.

> Type: Circuit

> Distance: 8km

> Circuit Time: 1 to 2 hours

> Difficulty: Moderate

10 Sheoak Picnic Area

Nature Walk

This is a short easy walk around the

picnic area, taking you through ferny

glades with tall manna gums overhead.

It is a good walk for stretching legs

after a BBQ and for learning something

about the features of the forest from the

interpretive signs along the way. This is

also a suitable spot for a night walk, with

glow worms occasionally by the bridge.

> Start/Finish: Sheoak Picnic Area

> Type: Circuit

> Distance: 1.3km

> Time: 30 minute circuit

> Difficulty: Easy - stroller friendly

11 Castle Rock

This walk starts with a steep climb

up from Sheoak Picnic Area before

reaching the Sheoak Track surrounded

by dry forest. The descent down to

Castle Rock is steep and rough with

a lot of steps before reaching the

lookout with panoramic views over the

Cumberland River and coast below.

For longer walks you can return via

Sheoak Falls and Swallow Cave to

Sheoak Picnic Area or the Great Ocean

Road. An even longer walk takes you

down into the Cumberland River valley

and out to the Great Ocean Road.

> Start/Finish: Sheoak Picnic Area

> Type: Return

> Distance: 7km return

> Time: 3 hours return

> Difficulty: Moderate

12 Won Wondah, Henderson

Falls

From the Sheoak Picnic Area a gentle

track with a couple of small rises leads

past Won Wondah Falls, and onwards

passing a giant eucalypt tree to finish

amongst a fern gully in front of the base

of Henderson Falls (8-10 metres tall).

This walk can continue to the Csnyon

Walk.

> Start/Finish: Lower car park

at Sheoak

> Type: Return

> Distance: 1.8km each way

> Time: 1 to 2 hours

> Difficulty: Easy

13 Upper and Lower

Kalimna Falls

The Kalimna Falls walk follows the

route of a timber tramway used for

transporting timber to the Lorne Pier

between the 1890s and 1920s. Very

few trees escaped the logging.

The Lower Falls are not large, but you

can get behind them and look out

through the falling water to the large

pool surrounded by mossy logs and

rocks. The Upper Falls are a series of

cascades viewed from a platform.

> Start/Finish: Lower car park

at Sheoak

> Type: Return

> Distance: Lower Falls – 6.5km return

Upper Falls – 8.5km return

> Time: Lower Falls – 2 hours 30 minutes

Upper Falls – 3 hours 30 minutes

> Difficulty: Easy

14 Sheoak Falls and

Swallow Cave

This is a quick and easy walk. It is

only 10 minutes from the car park to

get a glimpse of the falls. While not

spectacular, they are quite beautiful as

they flow down the dark rock face to

the deep pool below. Swallow Cave is

best seen from spring to autumn, when

nesting birds are present.

> Start/Finish: Sheoak Falls Car Park

> Type: Return

> Distance: 2.2km return

> Time: 1 hour return

> Difficulty: Moderate

Note: There is a creek crossing on

stepping stones near Swallow Cave,

which should not be attempted if the

water is high.

15 Erskine Falls, Lookouts 1 and 2

Erskine Falls is one of the most popular

falls in the Otways. The

30 metre falls are attractive even when

there is little water tumbling into the

pool below. It is an easy walk to the first

lookout, providing a spectacular view

over the falls. The steep climb down

steps to the second lookout is more

strenuous, but worth it for the view from

the beautiful fern gully.

> Start/Finish: Erskine Falls Car Park

> Type: Return

> Distance: 1st lookout – 300m return

2nd lookout – 700m return

to base of falls (300+ steps)

> Time: 1st lookout – 15 minutes return

2nd lookout – 30 minutes return

> Difficulty: 1st lookout – Easy

2nd lookout – Moderate

Note: Closest toilets are Blanket

Leaf Picnic Ground.

Safety

Further safety information can be

found on www.parkweb.vic.gov.au.

> Your safety is your own

responsibility. Check direction,

warning and advisory signs. Let

someone responsible know your

plans and estimated return time.

> Many of the walks cross creeks

and streams and may be subject

to flash flooding. Be especially

careful on windy days in forest

areas – branches may fall.

> Check the weather forecast

before leaving home.

> Wear (or carry) sturdy non-slip

footwear – even beach walking

may involve an unplanned rock

scramble. Rocks are slippery

when wet.

> Carry plenty of drinking water.

> Carry a well-charged mobile

phone, although reception is not

guaranteed.

> Walking near the edge or base

of cliffs can be dangerous. Be

careful, cliffs can be unstable.

Beware of snakes in late spring

and summer. If you meet one,

wait quietly until it has moved on.

> On Total Fire Ban days, no fire

can be lit outdoors. This includes

gas BBQs. Check with the

Country Fire Authority (CFA) for

advice if unsure. Bushfires can

pose a serious threat. On days

of extreme fire conditions some

walks are closed to the public.

Seek information from Visitor

Centres or the Bushfire Information

Line. Ph: 1800 240 667

Tune your radio to ABC 774AM

for updates.

Difficulty Grading

Easy: Formed tracks, level or

undulating terrain, boardwalks

and footbridges, and a minimum

of steps.

Moderate: Some climbing over

rocks, river crossings on stones, soft

sand, uphill or downhill sections.

Strenuous: Rough terrain,

clambering over rocks, and

extended uphill or downhill sections.

Closures

Up to date closures and further

parks information can be found on

www.parkweb.vic.gov.au under

the Great Otway National Park.

From the base of the Erskine Falls you

cross the river a number of times as you

follow the Erskine River downstream

to the natural amphitheatre of the

Sanctuary before reaching the Rapids

and the tidal section of the river mouth at

Lorne. For the first kilometre of this walk

there are frequent river crossings over

19 Blanket Leaf Picnic Area

to Allenvale Mill

This is a strenuous walk, well worth

the effort. It combines the Cora Lynn

Cascades Walk and the Allenvale Mill to

Phantom Falls Walk (this can be done in

reverse). Between the Cascades and the

Cora Lynn Crossing, the track crosses

the creek more than 20 times and at

times it is hard to see the orange-red

arrows indicating where to cross. The

walk beyond Cora Lynn Cascades to

Phantom Falls is recommended for

experienced walkers only.

> Finish: Allenvale Mill Car Park

> Type: Shuttle

> Distance: 8km

> Time: 3 hours 30 minutes

> Difficulty: Strenuous

Note: This walk is only recommended

for experienced walkers. It should not be

attempted after heavy rain or when river

levels are high.

20 Allenvale Mill to

Phantom Falls

After crossing the St George River and

skirting around the edge of an orchard,

this walk climbs on a vehicle track above

the rocky bed of the

St George River before descending

to a pool at the base of the scenic

Phantom Falls. The vehicle track is

uphill most of the way, with some steep

sections of loose gravel. From the base

of the falls, experienced walkers can

take the strenuous walk to Cora Lynn

Cascades. From above the falls there

is a track leading to the Canyon and

Sheoak Picnic Area.

> Start/Finish: Allenvale Mill Car Park

> Type: Return

> Distance: 3.5km return (not 5km as

described in some material)

> Time: 1 hour 30 minutes return

> Difficulty: Moderate

21 Allenvale Mill Car Park

to Phantom Falls,

The Canyon, Won Wondah

and Henderson Falls.

After reaching Phantom Falls, from

above the falls there is a track leading

to The Canyon, a fascinating geological

feature with sheer walls rising to 10

metres on either side, onwards to Won

Wondah Falls and then worth diverting

the short distance to Henderson Falls.

From here return towards the Sheoak

Picnic ground, walking back along the

Allenvale road to the Allenvale Mill Site.

This is one of the most diverse and

spectacular loop walks around Lorne.

> Start/Finish: Allenvale Mill Car Park

The walk ends dramatically at the base

of a long cascade. This is a good walk

for children, with a

well-formed path suitable for

wheelchairs and prams.

> Start/Finish: Car park at Stony

Creek Bridge on Great Ocean Road

north of Lorne

> Type: Return

> Distance: 1km return

slippery and potentially dangerous.

23 Cumberland River

and Cumberland Falls

This is one of the more beautiful river

valleys in the Otways, with dramatic

cliffs, and peaceful pools in which

to cool off on a hot summer day.

It is an easy walk to Jebb’s Pool but

beyond that to Cumberland Falls there

are numerous river crossings and

some scrambling over rocks.

> Start/Finish: Cumberland River

> Type: Return

> Distance: 6km return

> Time: 2.5 to 3 hours return

> Difficulty: Strenuous

Note: There are several low river

crossings on the Cumberland River that
