Trentham Falls

Trentham Falls is a 32-metre single-drop waterfall on the Coliban River in Trentham, within Hepburn Shire, Victoria, Australia. Located in the Trentham Falls Reserve surrounded by Wombat State Forest, it is regarded as one of Victoria's longest single-drop waterfalls. Formed over basalt columns from ancient volcanic activity, the falls are most impressive after winter and spring rains and are accessed via a short walking track and viewing platform.

Visitors can expect a scenic natural reserve with a 32-metre plunge waterfall over hexagonal basalt columns into a pool below. The site offers an upper viewing platform overlooking the falls and gorge, and a steep stepped walking track leading to the base. Surroundings include open reserve, native bushland of Wombat State Forest, picnic area and Coliban River valley. The experience is focused on sightseeing, photography and short nature walks.

The falls were formed by volcanic lava flows that created the distinctive basalt columns along the Coliban River valley. The area lies within the traditional lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung people. European settlement around Trentham developed from the mid-19th century, and the falls area was later reserved for conservation and public recreation.

The falls and surrounding Wombat State Forest are part of Country for the Dja Dja Wurrung people. Today the site is valued as a significant natural landmark and recreational place for the local community and visitors to the Daylesford and Macedon Ranges region.
