MacKenzie Falls

Probably the most famous waterfall in Victoria, we hike down to the base and back to marvel at the sheer amount of water and to feel the fresh spray in the air. The hike is about 250 steps to the base and back and if you prefer an easier flat walk out over the top of the falls this is absolutely fine!If ever Mackenzie Falls were closed to the public this stop would be substituted for a peaceful hike to Silverband Falls.
