Eurobin Falls is a picturesque 1.4-kilometre hike nestled in Mount Buffalo National Park, Victoria. The trail is rated Grade 3 and generally takes about 45 minutes to complete, making it an ideal outing for a half-day adventure. The hike begins at the stunning Ladies Bath Falls, where water flows into a crystal-clear pool. From there, the track continues to Lower Eurobin Falls, and a steeper section leads you up to the base of the Upper Falls, offering stunning views of Crystal Creek as it cascades dramatically over a towering granite escarpment.
The Falls, though not enormous in size, have played a significant role in shaping the landscape. The creek has carved a deep chasm at the top of Eurobin Falls, creating the striking natural feature visible from the trail. This area is a perfect place to take a break and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding environment. The falls are easily accessible, making it a popular spot for both locals and visitors, especially those staying in nearby Bright. The area also has a bit of history. In the early 20th century, the falls were a popular stop for travellers heading to the Mount Buffalo Chalet, with women often gathering at Ladies Bath to cool off in the refreshing waters of Crystal Brook while the men would take their break elsewhere.
While this spot is an excellent place to relax or enjoy a picnic, it's especially inviting during the summer months when the heat of the Ovens and Buckland valleys can make the cool waters a welcome respite. The walk is relatively short, so it’s easy to explore all three falls in one go.
However, visitors should be cautious when walking on the rocks around Ladies Bath, as they can be slippery, especially near the water's edge. Since this is a natural environment, there are always potential hazards, so it's important to stay safe around the falls. Following water safety advice will help ensure your visit to Eurobin Falls is both enjoyable and secure, allowing you to fully appreciate the tranquil beauty of this charming location.
- The trail features a steep climb along a well-maintained path with plenty of steps, so be prepared for some uphill sections.
- There are limited opportunities to swim at the Upper and Lower Falls, but Ladies Bath Falls offers a perfect spot for a refreshing dip.
- Be cautious, as the rocks can be slippery when wet, especially around the water's edge.

Tucked into Victoria’s High Country, Mount Buffalo National Park is a place of striking contrasts and quiet beauty. Granite cliffs rise from the landscape, softened by forests of snow gum and alpine ash. Waterfalls tumble into fern-lined creeks, while the crisp mountain air carries the scent of eucalyptus. This land holds deep cultural significance for the Taungurung Traditional Owners, whose connection to Country continues today.
More than 90 kilometres of marked walking tracks wind through this diverse terrain, offering everything from short strolls to longer, more remote hikes. You’ll pass through mossy gullies, open plateaus, and wildflower-filled meadows. It’s essential to stay on designated trails and carry a physical map, as phone signal can be unreliable and the alpine environment is sensitive to disturbance.
There are plenty of picnic areas to enjoy, whether you're after wide-open views or quiet, shaded corners. The Gorge Day Visitor Area and The Horn provide sweeping lookouts, while Eurobin Creek and Rollasons Falls offer easy access to gentle waterfalls. Grossmans Mill and the Oval are more secluded, and the Lakeside Day Visitor Area near Lake Catani is perfect for warm days, with picnic tables, toilets, shelters, barbecues, and space to swim or paddle a canoe.
Camping allows for a deeper connection to the landscape. Lake Catani Campground, open November to April, includes hot showers and toilets. In winter, campers can access it on foot or skis, with basic facilities available. For a quieter, more rugged experience, Rocky Creek and Mount McLeod campgrounds offer remote camping with minimal amenities—bookings are required and can be made online or by calling Parks Victoria on 13 1963.
Since its establishment in 1898, this 31,000-hectare park has protected unique subalpine ecosystems. Signs of past bushfires are still visible, but regrowth is underway, with vibrant new life emerging. Wildlife is abundant—keep an eye out for lyrebirds, wombats, and wallabies, especially near the road at dawn and dusk. Whether you're here for a few hours or a few days, Mount Buffalo has a way of leaving a lasting impression on those who take the time to explore its quiet trails.
