MacKenzie Falls

The spectacular MacKenzie Falls is one of the most popular spots in the Grampians and Victoria's largest Waterfall. As the River is Horsham's Water supply, there is always a good flow of water over the falls. There is actually a series of waterfalls, with MacKenzie Falls being the largest.

Broken Falls - near and at the upper stream of the MacKenzie Falls

viewing of the falls from a footbridge further downstream




viewing from the base - It is impressive and spectacular. Enormous torrents of water cascade over huge cliffs into a deep pool, sending fine sprays of rainbow mist high into the air above a stunning gorge.



Boroka Lookout, Reed Lookout and The Balconies walk


Boroka Lookout


The lookout offers views over Victoria Valley, Lake Wartook and the Mt Difficult Range


Reed Lookout


Balconies Lookout, formerly known as the 'Jaws of Death'. This rock formation was probably named because (1) when viewed from the side it looks like an animals jaw and (2) it's a long way down if you fall off it.

The Chimney Pots


The 2.8 km loop encountering several sections of steep. The walking track circles around the mountain and  walks clockwise around it.


most of time, walking along towering cliffs

Chimney Pots - viewing from the summit
A massive 250m high mountain of bare sandstone with alternating cliffs and ledges rising out of the surrounding forest. It resembles Aztec Temple(阿芝特克人神廟 at Mexico)



arriving at the summit, it's a high stand of rock slabs



The summit offers great panoramic views



The returning walk through a sheltered gully with many interesting features


towering cliffs on both sides of the forest...
