Agnes Falls Agnes Falls plunges and cascades some 59m into a pretty gorge. Technicalities and claims aside, I thought this waterfall was definitely pretty and worth the time and detour as part of our visit to Gippsland. Still, I got the feeling that this waterfall seemed to be lacking something given its flow, which was a little on the low side (although it was still impressive). It's also worth noting that a good chunk of the Agnes River gets diverted for both agriculture and possibly for drinking water. Imagine how much more impressive Agnes Falls would be without the diversion and with more "normal" precipitation. We actually went to the falls via Welshpool since we were coming from the east during our visit. We took Slades Hill Road to Hazel Park Rd, then to Agnes River Rd where we then picked up the signs leading to the car park. Toora (a small town) is about 190km along the South Gippsland Hwy southeast of Melbourne. Welshpool is about 3km east of Toora along the South Gippsland Hwy.
