Enjoy a Sunday visiting the rainforest, tree ferns, waterfalls, rivers and cliffs in the Great Otway National Park near Lorne.

GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Medium to hard (grade 3), 19 km, 7.5 hour circuit walk, with option to make it shorter by 6.5 km

MEETING TIME | LOCATION: 9:15am for a 9:30am start, at the Sheoak Falls Car Park.

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: The walk is on marked trails but there are sections which involve some steady climbing/descending which may include some man-made steps. If there has been recent rain parts of the track may be muddy. 
The walk starts and finishes at Sheoak Falls Car Park, near Lorne. We first visit Sheoak Picnic Area, taking in Sheoak Falls and Swallow Cave along the way. From the picnic area we do a couple of return walks. One is to The Canyon while visiting Won Wondah Falls and Henderson Falls on the way. Lunch is at Sheoak Picnic Area. After lunch, depending on the group, you have the option to do the other return walk (6.5 km) to the Lower Kalimna Falls or return directly back to finish at the Sheoak Falls Car Park.
