About Beauchamp Falls

Beauchamp Falls is a secluded multi-tiered cascade on Beauchamp Creek in the Otway Ranges, reached via a steep 2km return walk through dense fern-filled gullies. The falls are less visited than nearby Hopetoun Falls, lending them a sense of discovery and solitude. The approach walk passes through one of the finest examples of Otway cool temperate rainforest.
