Woolshed Falls

Woolshed Falls is a 15-metre cascade located in Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park, about a ten-minute drive north of Beechworth in Victoria.

Spring Creek and Reedy Creek converge just above the falls, where the combined flow spills over a broad, undulating sheet of granite in a tiered series of ledges before plunging into a deep pool enclosed on three sides by rock cliffs.

Natural channels and hollows worn into the granite form pools along the way.

The falls carry an unusual piece of gold-rush history: between 1918 and 1920, some 57 kilograms of gold were dredged from the silt of the plunge pool, leaving it notably deeper than its size would suggest. A short, easy trail of around 0.

3 kilometres return leads from the end of Woolshed Falls Road to a lookout above the falls, with a second lookout offering a fuller view of the cascade and the pool below.
