Hopetoun Falls

Hopetoun Falls is a plunge waterfall on the Aire River in the Otway Ranges of Victoria, Australia, situated within Great Otway National Park.

The falls drop approximately 30–49 metres into a pool below, making them one of the more dramatic cascades in the region. Visitors can view the falls from an upper platform or descend roughly 200 stairs to reach a closer vantage point at the base.

The surrounding landscape is part of the lush Otways, known for its cool temperate rainforest and fern-lined gullies.
