Erskine Falls is one of the most visited waterfalls in Victoria's Great Otway National Park, located just outside the seaside town of Lorne along the Great Ocean Road.

Fed by the Erskine River, which flows year-round, the falls drop 30 metres into a deep, fern-filled gorge surrounded by ancient cool-climate rainforest of towering eucalyptus and tree ferns.

The falls were first discovered around 1876 by a small party of Lorne residents.

From the car park, a short easy walk leads to an upper lookout, while a steeper descent via wooden steps reaches a raised viewing platform at the base — a roughly 25-minute return trip.

Nearby Phantom Falls and Straw Falls offer additional destinations for those continuing along the river. The misty atmosphere at the base makes it a popular photography spot.
