Mackenzie Falls
Mackenzie Falls is the Grampians’ most famous waterfall. It is also the largest and the only waterfall with a flowing waterway all year round. Thanks to the regular rainfall.
The waterfall has been a major attraction in the Grampians. The surrounding areas of Mackenzie Falls are panoramic vistas of landscapes and mountain ranges.
Two walks are available. So, you can have the best view of the waterfall: at the bottom and on lookouts where you have the bird’s eye view. You can also see the surrounding hills and waterways from the lookout platform.
Wannon Falls
Located 20 kilometers from Hamilton, Wannon Falls is a natural wonder. With the rock structures from the basalt lava flow, the result is a tantalizing beauty of a waterfall you would not take your eyes off.
The impressive views of rapids and rushing water jumping off the cliff to the bottom pool are simply spectacular.
The area is surrounded by lush vegetation and diverse wildlife. You can have a picnic and set up a camp on the banks of the Wannon River. While in the area, you can also learn the history of the Koori people.
Nigretta Falls
Located 19 kilometers from Wannon Falls and 16 kilometers from Hamilton is Nigretta Falls. It was formerly known as Upper Wannon Falls. The waters flow and plunge downstream over the rocks creating spectacular cascades.
At the viewing platform, you can also see the surrounding areas of astounding mountain views and panoramic landscapes.
Nigretta Falls is a great place to hike into the wild. While on a bushwalking expedition, always be on the lookout for the native wild animals.
Bridal Veil Falls
On the eastern side of the Grampians lies hidden the scenic Bridal Veil Falls. On the way to the waterfalls, take a bushwalk along the tracks. Follow the trails and enjoy the views of the surrounding hills, valleys, waterways, and lakes.
The climax of the trail is the fascinating Bridal Veil Falls. The 60-meter-high descent of the water created a veil-like mist that is simply enchanting. Hence, the name Bridal Veil Falls.
Silverband Falls
Near Halls Gap is the picturesque Silverband Falls. The waterfall is famous among wedding couples taking photos of the hills and the plunging waters. Surrounded by rocky landscapes, the scenery is filled with mystery, beauty, and enchantment.
In the surrounding areas of the waterfall, you can spot some wildflowers and wild animals: kangaroos, wallabies, deer, and other mammals. You can also sprinkle some colourful and lovely native birds.
Beehive Falls
Near Halls Gap is another waterfall, the pretty Beehive Falls. The waterfall has rough cliffs and a rocky valley serving as a backdrop.
Beehive Falls has enchanted locals and visitors alike. With waters falling, the rocky cliffs surrounded by lush vegetation make up an enchanting, charming scenery where spring wildflowers bloom.

Fish Falls
From the Zumsteins Picnic Area, take a little over 2-kilometre walk to the Fish Falls. It is one of the most impressive waterfalls in the Grampians. The 60-metre descent of water plunging into the pool below is a sight to behold.
