Agnes Falls

Agnes Falls is a 59-metre single-span waterfall in the Agnes Falls Scenic Reserve near Toora and Agnes in South Gippsland, Victoria. Recognised as the highest single drop waterfall in Victoria, it plunges over sandstone cliffs into a forested gorge. Managed by Parks Victoria, the reserve is set in stringybark forest and accessed via a short walking track to viewing platforms with picnic facilities.

Visitors can expect a short 400-metre return walk from the car park through eucalypt forest to two viewing platforms overlooking the gorge and the 59-metre waterfall. The setting is a sheltered forest reserve with fern gullies, a deep gorge and sandstone cliffs. Facilities at the car park include picnic tables and toilets. There is no access to the base of the falls for swimming. Water flow varies seasonally and is most impressive after rain.

The falls are named after the Agnes River, which was named after the coastal schooner Agnes. The area was reserved as a scenic reserve in the early 20th century for recreation and conservation and is now managed by Parks Victoria.

Located on the traditional Country of the Bunurong and GunaiKurnai peoples, the surrounding South Gippsland landscape holds cultural significance for Aboriginal communities.
