> 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

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

> 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

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

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.

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

crossings on the Cumberland River that
