Paradise Falls |
Off the beaten track, buried deep in the King Valley, Paradise Falls is located in the Alpine National park outside of Cheshunt.
Located in the stunning Alpine National Park, Paradise Falls cascades an uninterrupted 31 metres from a conglomerate rock formation. The walk to the viewing platform is a well-made but steep stepped track. From here, you can take in the spectacular falls and watch the stream wind down through the landscape.
Paradise Falls is in the heart of the King Valley in Alpine National Park. The falls are most spectacular in spring, early summer or after rain, so plan your visit accordingly if you're keen to see the water at its most impressive.
A pleasant 500m walk from the car park takes you to the falls viewing platform, where you can watch the falls drop from a breathtaking conglomerate rock ledge formation. The path allows you to follow the contours of this rock formation on stone steps. For your safety, please stay on the designated walking track to avoid unstable rocks and minimise damage to native vegetation.
In the Day Visitor Area you'll find picnic tables and designated fireplaces with barbecue plates - an ideal destination for a day trip with the family. Toilets are located at the rear of the car park, but you'll need to bring your own drinking water. Make sure you extinguish your fire with water after using the fireplaces, and take all your rubbish out with you.
For the more adventurous, take the Falls Walking Track from the car park to Wobonga Plateau: a 7km return trip that will take you up to McMillan's Track Lookout, perched on a rocky escarpment. Absorb the breathtaking views of the Upper King River and Lake William Hovel, as well as the rolling hills stretching towards the peaks of Mount Stirling and Mount Buller.
Review: Becki & James
One of our favourite hidden gems
Hi, we're Becki & James
We've been travelling full-time since September 2024 and are currently exploring the best nature destinations around Australia. If you're searching for real, authentic travel experiences, Aussie waterfalls and Victoria road trip ideas, you're in the right place!
Most travellers know the famous waterfalls in Victoria.. but this one completely surprised us. We'd never heard of it until yesterday and now it's one of our favourite hidden gems.
Paradise Falls
Located in Victoria's High Country, this underrated waterfall may not always have a heavy flow, but the dramatic red cliff behind it gives it a true outback feel - without leaving Victoria.
Getting there is super easy: it's only a short 20-minute walk downhill from the car park, making it the perfect stop for nature lovers of all fitness levels.
If you're planning a Melbourne road trip or exploring the King Valley region, make sure you also visit:
Powers Lookout - epic views over the valley
Lake William Hovell - ideal for swimming and cooling off in summer
Paradise Falls is proof that some of the best waterfalls in Australia are still completely underrated.
