Deep in the Wombat State Forest and just a short drive from the township of Trentham, you can find the state’s highest single drop waterfall – Trentham Falls. Formed some five million years ago by molten lava rapidly cooling as it flowed along the old Coliban River valley, Trentham Falls plunges 32 metres over basalt columns onto the quartz gravel below.
The Trentham Falls Reserve protects one of the best remnants of original vegetation in the area, including manna gum, messmate and narrow-leaved peppermint and provides a spectacular backdrop for a picnic. There are plenty of facilities, including picnic tables, fireplaces and toilets nearby. The surrounding forest is also popular with hikers for the quality and number of walking tracks.
How to get there
Head north out of Trentham past the sports ground, heading towards Daylesford. At the intersection turn right, heading east towards Kyneton and Woodend. A very short distance along is a turn-off on the left, which leads to Trentham Falls.
