Silverband Falls

Silverband Falls is a narrow waterfall in Grampians National Park (Gariwerd) near Halls Gap in western Victoria. Located off Silverband Road, it is known for its thin, silver-like ribbon of water flowing over a sandstone rock face surrounded by eucalypt forest. The falls are seasonal and most impressive after rain in winter and spring. Accessed via a short walking track from a dedicated car park, it is a popular stop for nature walks and photography within the national park.

Visitors can expect a short, easy walk through open eucalypt forest and heathland to a narrow, ribbon-like waterfall cascading over a curved sandstone wall into a small pool below. The setting is quiet and sheltered, with a well-formed natural walking track, viewing area at the base of the falls, and surrounding bushland with native birds and wildflowers in season. Water flow varies seasonally and may be reduced to a trickle or dry in summer.

Silverband Falls lies within Grampians National Park (Gariwerd), declared as a national park in 1984. The area has a long history of conservation and recreation, with walking tracks developed in the 20th century to provide access to natural features. The falls were named for the thin silver band of water formed as it flows over the rock face.

The falls are within Gariwerd, the traditional Country of the Djab Wurrung and Jardwadjali peoples. The broader Grampians landscape is of significant Aboriginal cultural importance, containing rock art sites and creation stories, and is recognised for its natural and cultural heritage values.
