Turpin Falls is on the list of best waterfalls in Victoria. The river at Turpins Falls flows over a vast, high rock wall surface that borders the downstream swimming pool on three sides. Throughout my viewing, the falls have ranged from a mild trickle to a little but steady stream, yet they can generate a gush of water after heavy rain.
Throughout moderate circulation conditions, the falls split right into 2 streams. There is a checking out platform on top of the falls and you can likewise walk to the base of the pool straight in front of the falls. Turpins Falls near Kyneton Above: Turpins Falls (Order this photo).
The falls could quickly be a substantial vacationer attraction in the area, such as the excellent size of the rock step over which the falls flow, yet roadway access and also signs (although it has actually enhanced gradually) is inadequate. You might require to rely upon a GPS or map to get here.
The actions down to the falls are quite high, as well as there are also some rocks to rush over to reach the water’s edge. I truly enjoy the colours installed in the rock formation, and also the sense of enclosure at the water’s side. Turpins Falls are most likely among Victoria’s finest instances of a lava column waterfall.
On one browse through here, I found a snake in the water, on its method across the pool to sun itself on the rocks on the opposite side. Whilst snakes will usually prevent instead of face individuals, and also this avoided me regardless of being fairly close, I would certainly recommend using encased shoes heading down the steps as well as to the water.

The managing authority often closes the find to the base of the falls in Autumn if water degrees are very low, so contact them before heading out in Autumn. The falls have been a preferred cliff diving place, but after a spate of deaths and also a serious head/spinal injuries, the handling authority has actually forbidden the method. Low visibility in the water means that it is difficult to see underwater dangers, as well as more deaths and injuries from jumping/diving, would certainly be hard to avoid.
