Hike Overview

The Boroondara Track hike commences at the Boroondara carpark located on Falls Creek Road, 700m from Murrindindi road junction. This circuit track encompasses both Wilhelmina Falls and a section of the Murrindindi River Walk. Stroll along the Boroondara Track to the Boroondara footbridge, before the track provides an invigorating walk upstream to the Wilhelmina Walk intersection. From here you can head down to the Wilhelmina Falls and take the time to take in the amazing views. Carefully descend down the rock trail to the Murrindindi River before turning to the left and following the river walk back to the Boroondara carpark.

Gear to consider

What you carry in your pack will depend on the weather, terrain, time of year, type of adventure, and personal preferences. Having trouble deciding what gear’s right for you? My free planning, food and packing checklists provide an introduction to things your could consider (as well as the Ten Essentials) on your day, overnight and multi-day adventures. Customise your kit according to your personal needs, always considering safety first.

While planning your hike, it’s important to check official government sources for updated information, temporary closures and trail access requirements.
