"MacKenzie Falls is a breathtaking 40-meter waterfall in Grampians National Park, flowing year-round. Enjoy scenic views from Bluff Lookout or tackle the steep 260-step climb to the base for an up-close experience. A must-visit attraction in Victoria, Australia."

A must see and very impressive! But be warned, so many stairs. Many many stairs. Make sure you're prepared for all the stairs... Very touristy so it can get crowded on weekends, try visit off peak if you can to make the most of it. Absolutely huge waterfall and plenty of walks around if you don't want the experience to stop! Really loved it and is a must see of the Grampians region. This place is full of surprises, can't believe Victoria has something like this!

I didn’t expect the sound to reach me before the view did. Low, steady, like breath through a canyon. Mackenzie Falls doesn’t just fall; it insists. And somehow, that insistence quieted everything else. From the Bluff lookout, the whole scene opens up. Wheelchair-accessible, it’s a place that doesn’t ask you to prove anything. You arrive, and the land receives you. There’s a bench tucked off to the side. Not marked, not famous. I watched a youngster sit there, swinging her legs, watching the water like it was telling a story only she could hear. That felt important. The mist creates its own world of ferns, moss, even the air feels different. I touched the sandstone and thought about time. Not in years, but in textures. If you go, bring something small. A thermos. A poem. Mackenzie Falls doesn’t just offer a view—it offers a conversation.

Beautiful waterfall! Done the walk to the bottom many times throughout the years and will continue to do so. The sight of it never ceases to amaze me. It’s 260 steps to walk down to the bottom, certainly worth the walk. The first part of the way consists of flat parts and stretched out wide steps whereas the last part downwards is short steep steps/staircases. The way down is easy, the way up might require a couple breaks. On the bottom you can enjoy the waterfall in its entire beauty. After it has rained it is especially huge, you might get wet just by standing nearby! There is an additional walk all you can do from the bottom of Mackenzie falls to fish falls to the right. Also a nice little walk to do ☺️ There’s signs everywhere to tell people not to swim in front of the waterfall because of the danger, however every time we visit there is still people swimming regardless. At the top near the carpark are good toilets. There is also an additional 2x lookouts at the top which look downwards to the waterfall; good for anyone unable to walk all the way down. And as per the famous sticker from my home country that has also made its way to the Mackenzie falls: Nett hier. Aber waren sie schon mal in Baden-Württemberg?

The Falls are amazing, it was a good walk down the stairs, but you realise you have to walk back up them. When I got to the falls I realised it was going to be worthwhile. I went further downstream to Fish Falls, a nice walk along the water and through the bushland. I would recommend to anyone who is comfortable with rougher ground walking. Stopped on the walk up a few times, bit was a great day

A medium level walk. Path is fully paved all the way with steep steps descending around 200 metres to the bottom. Broken Falls is just a short, easy stroll from the beginning of the walking path and is worth the visit whilst there.

Second time visiting Mackenzie falls, this time I did the lookout walk with my son and 80 year old grandma in law! She was able to walk to lookout and back no problems at all. Lots of Aussie native plants. Toilets at the start!

Lovely gardens and a lot of work have been done on the bridge and garden beds. The fountain has scaffolding around it, but it will be restored to original soon. Visited in winter so not a lot of flowers. The sensory garden behind the curators cottage was very special.

Old botanical garden, very large trees as the gardens were established in 1880's these were the 4th botanical gardens in Victoria. Most trees are well labelled, and plenty of history boards.

Beautiful garden always a good place to relax or walk! Very well maintained!!!! And there were new features recently added

Beautiful small garden littel play ground for kids nice place to walk the dog let the kids ride there bicks .

After Hamilton swap meet..bought some local takeaway Chinese food..took it to the gardens. Beautiful seating spot just near the rotunda..chilled variety of birds..decided after we ate that we walked around the gardens and checked out all the trees by name. Cottage, botanical conservatory, aviary, animal enclosure (nothing in there atm) bridge over pond. A little bit of work seems to be going on..which is always good for progress. History of the park was interesting, they had monkeys at one stage...a must visit.

Impressive. The fellow who designed these gardens was also the conservator of the Melbourne botanical gardens. His influence is evident in the flowing lawns and beautiful specimen trees. Gorgeous place to wander or sit for a while. There were a few people having picnic lunch when I was there. Love that the bridge has been rebuilt like the 1920's one. The bandstand has it's history recorded and it's worth walking down the North West for the historical elements including an oak planted in 1880.

We managed to catch a terrific afternoon with Trax Big Band playing in the rotunda. What a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The band woke up the nearby, and substantial, flock of fruit bats who happily skwarked and jostled in the sky above the rotunda. Couldn't have scripted it better! Delightful!

An easy walk to the viewing platform from the car park. Picnic areas and shelter to relax in a lovely bush setting. The fall was flowing really well too. There's also toilets.

Lovely falls. Very accessible 2 minute walk to viewing platform. Picnic tables, bins and toilets.

Stunning rocks formations. We saw it with just a small amount of flow of water but still amazing as it dropped into a deep pool below the cliff. Upstream are tickles to explore. Well worth a visit!

The falls are fantastic. The picnic area is well maintained. As are the toilets. Well worth the stop.

Nice falls, can only be viewed from the viewing platform, no access to the bottom as steep cliff walls surround the canyon, a nice set of little rapids up above the falls about a hundred metres, you can also camp here and there are tiolets, long drops.

Excellent park and scenery. You can't get very close to the falls, but the viewing platform is a good overall vantage point.

There wsd a good amount of water flowing over the fall. Such a nice place to visit

It's worth the detour. A lovely peaceful place. Clean drop toilets too and a picnic spot. It looked like there were lots of walking trails but we just went to the lookout.

Beautiful river to swim in; away from the falls. Spectacular waterfall. Drive safely as the road into Nigretta Falls has many animals.

Nigretta falls, beautiful falls steep steps going down, but they are currently building a new viewing platform and new stairs, worth a visit

Nicely updated viewing deck with a long staircase for close up views of the falls. Lots of parking and beautiful views and scenery! amazing!

What a beauty! Huge waterfall with grest viewing deck and steps to take you down to the bottom of the falls. Stairs seemed newish and made walking up and back easy, with several platforms to stop to take photos too. Beautiful surrounds and easy parking near the look out.

Hats off to the council for a nice set of staircase all the to access the falls. Amazing view

Absolutely stunning today!! The Falls were flowing beautifully. There is access to the bottom via 144 wooden stairs each way, very well constructed with hand rails the full length. There is an undercover BBQ area, and toilets as well.

A really nice display and definitely worth the visit. The man at the desk was so friendly and informative and even gave me a tour of the place explaining all the displays and local history. Such a pleasure to meet you. Thank you so much!

It has been on my to do list for years, especially being an ex employee. So glad I made the effort to go. Excellent displays, great history and very nice volunteers. If you are in this neck of the woods I highly recommend a visit.

We spent a few hours viewing all the exhibits. What a story of this icon of a company and of course it's tragic end. Brought back plenty of memories. It is worth a look at just how this business was run and then over ran. It is a good example of how an icon was built.

Easily spent 90 minutes looking around the museum that tells the story about Sir Reginald Ansett, from selling passengers oranges instead of bus tickets to work around a law to running an international airline. Love seeing the personal messages written on the staff lounge walls and thankfully saved when they closed down.

Good collection that tells the story of this once proud Australian Airline. It's definitely worth a visit if in the area. Staff are welcoming and happy to have a chat about the history. If driving from Melbourne, best currently to go up the Western Hwy via Ararat and Willaura (extra 15 mins) as the Hamilton Hwy via Lismore has a lot of roadworks and is in a state of disrepair at the moment.

The Sir Reginald Ansett Transport Museum is an absolute gem for anyone interested in Australian transport and aviation history. What strikes you first is the unassuming nature of the building—it's housed in the company's original aircraft hangar, relocated to the site. This historical setting adds a layer of authenticity, but from the outside, it gives little away about the treasure trove within. ​The experience is greatly enhanced by the helpful and enthusiastic staff, often dedicated volunteers, who are eager to share detailed knowledge and personal anecdotes, offering impromptu tours that bring the displays to life. Their passion makes the visit truly engaging and personal. ​Inside, the museum expertly chronicles Ansett's journey from a one-man road service to an international airline. A key highlight is the comprehensive display covering the evolution of flight attendant uniforms over the years. This vibrant collection acts as a fascinating time capsule, showcasing Australian fashion trends alongside the airline's developing brand identity. ​At the heart of the exhibit is the Studebaker, a restored car identical to the one Sir Reginald Ansett drove on his very first passenger service route. This vehicle is the tangible start of an empire and beautifully illustrates the humble beginnings of what would become a vast transport network. Other large exhibits include a Fokker Universal aircraft replica, similar to the one used on Ansett's first flight.

For an ex Ansett employee it was a trip down memory lane and a great insight into Australia's aviation history

Beautiful spot. Nicely maintained with perfect parklands surrounding the lake. We found a terrific kids playground which was modern with a nice variety of equipment for the kids. Great family outing location generally. Recommended...

A very pretty lake that provides a nice natural spot for contemplation or rest to break the day.

Caught up with a beautiful chilly at lake hamilton. He ran straight up to me for a big huge.

A beautiful place providing a good safe haven for water birds it's a big comparison and their numbers here where they are safe from other places where duck shooting is available.

The walk around the lake goes for about 4.3km. There is a great children's playground about 1/4 of the way around. In fact there are two other ones, too. There are some areas that look OK when someone has gone to the trouble of being a bit creative. It's OK for a walk to get those legs moving but you probably wouldn't go there for it's beauty. My wife gives it a higher rating than I do. She says that I am being too critical. Just goes to show that we're all different.

Nice place to stop for lunch.

People Not Cleaning up after there pets. Not good Exspecally when you take your pets down for a walk. Toilets in very need of Clean up and paint job Disgusting. Council needs be ashamed...
