One of the highest drops in the Otways, the stunning Erskine Falls can be viewed from an area not far from the carpark.

But it wasn't quite the same as being up close...so off we went.
The spectacular cascade drops 30 metres into the pool below, forming a rocky waterway at the base, the Erskine River.
It was a strenuous walk down to the bottom of the falls, with hundreds of steps and a steep muddy track, but the lush fern gully surrounds made the trek enjoyable.

My daughter, the frog whisperer.
I wonder if Kipling was inspired by the Otway frogs, during his visit in 1891...
"Buy my hot-wood clematis,
Buy a frond of fern,
Gathered where the Erskine leaps
Down the road to Lorne"
