Erskine Falls is a beautiful waterfall located in the Otway Ranges in Lorne, Victoria. It is 300 metres (984.25 feet ) above sea level and the waterfall drops 38 metres ( 124.64 feet) into a beautiful rainforest/fern tree gully.
Before you start your journey down to the falls you are greeted by warning signs.
It's a wonder that anyone would want to venture down with all these warnings. You could slip and fall, a tree could fall on you or you could be bitten by one of the many deadly snakes that make Australia their home. HMM!!! We of course proceeded with caution and made the trek inspite of all these warnings.
As we made our way down the steep, slippery steps we came to the first viewing platform, which is 80 metres (262 feet) down. The scene before us was beautiful.
Venturing further down even slippery, steeper steps takes you to the base of the waterfall, which is 220 metres (726 feet) down into a lush, rainforest setting.
Gary and the kids made their way along the huge, slippery rocks while I did what I do best . . . take pictures!
You know the old saying, "What goes up must come down." . . . Well, what goes down must go up! So up we went. It was a long, steep, slippery walk back up to the top, but worth every step.
