Erskine Falls is a waterfall located in the Otway Ranges, immediately outside of Lorne, Victoria, Australia. It is a popular waterfall in the Otways, due to its close proximity to Lorne and the Great Ocean Road. [1] The waterfall consists of a singular drop, reaching a height of 35.49 metres (116.44 feet). Both the waterfall and the river it is situated on are named after the Hon. James Augustus Erskine (1812-1885). [2]

History

The waterfalls were first discovered in 1876 by a trio of men including W. A. Mountjoy, F. M. Straw and H. Jebb, after they had discovered Splitter Falls downstream. Prior to the construction of a road, access to the waterfall was limited to a walking track from Lorne. In 1937, a road to the waterfall was completed. [2]
