Sherbrooke Falls

Welcome to Sherbrooke Falls, located in Sherbrooke Forest, the largest section of the stunning Dandenong Ranges National Park in Australia. Nestled in nature, Sherbrooke Falls is an establishment that serves as a point of interest and a must-visit tourist attraction.

As you step into Sherbrooke Picnic Ground and O'Donohue Picnic Ground, you will feel a sense of tranquility and serenity that can only be found in the heart of nature. This area offers a stark contrast to the bustling popularity of the nearby 1000 Steps, providing a peaceful retreat away from civilization.

The well-equipped picnic grounds serve as the starting point for several walking trails that lead you into a mesmerizing rainforest. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the towering Mountain Ash trees, graceful stringybarks, and lush tree ferns that surround you. And, of course, the highlight of your journey will be the enchanting waterfalls that grace this magical landscape.

To reach Sherbrooke Falls, follow the Sherbrooke Track or O'Donohue Track, both of which are clearly signposted. Although the falls may be small and partially hidden by the majestic tree ferns, the true star of this walk is the rainforest itself. The scents of the forest after rainfall are simply intoxicating, and the waterfalls flow gracefully, creating a symphony of nature's beauty. Keep an eye out for the elusive lyrebirds and other wildlife, as they often make appearances after the rain, ensuring you are in the best of company.

Please note that as waterfalls are situated within a natural environment, certain hazards may be present. We highly recommend following our water safety advice to ensure your visit to Sherbrooke Falls is both safe and enjoyable.

At Sherbrooke Falls, we strive to provide accessibility for all visitors. We understand that visiting a park can pose challenges for people with disabilities. Therefore, we have assessed our facilities at Sherbrooke, O'Donohue, Grants, One Tree Hill, and Ferntree Gully picnic grounds for accessibility. In June 2020, we conducted assessments and provided detailed information and photos to ensure that people of all abilities can fully enjoy the wonders of our parks.

We warmly welcome assistance dogs in Parks Victoria parks and reserves. However, please note that entry requirements apply for parks and reserves where dogs are usually prohibited, such as national parks.

As conditions in nature can change unexpectedly, we recommend checking this page prior to your visit for any updates or changes.

Lastly, we would like to acknowledge the significance of Aboriginal cultural landscapes within Victoria's network of parks and reserves. Parks Victoria recognizes and respects the enduring connection that Traditional Owners have to these landscapes. We deeply appreciate their ongoing role in caring for the Country on which we learn, explore, and live.

Come and experience the breathtaking beauty of Sherbrooke Falls, where nature's wonders await you.
