Browns Falls

Browns Falls


Browns Falls is a short 10-15m waterfall that also plunges over a basalt wall (as evident again with lines of basalt columns).

We had a little bit of trouble finding this waterfall at first because it turned out that the walk eventually involved walking the stream banks (the trail was definitely no longer quite as defined as we would've expected) until we were eventually face-to-face with the waterfall. It did appear to be possible to walk behind the short falls though we didn't do it.

Even though the signage suggested it was a 20-minute 600m walk, I thought the hike was much longer than that. In the end, it took us about 75 minutes return to do the whole hike/scramble plus all the photographs (certainly longer than what the sign suggested, but there was a lot of uncertainty and unsure steps slowing us down).

I recalled seeing another small group of people at the car park looking for platypus. Apparently, they can be spotted here, but we weren't so fortunate to spot these very shy and endangered organisms.

Directions: A picnic area and car park is right across the road next to a bridge from the trailhead and sign (about 2.4km east of Killarney Rd along Spring Creek Rd).

For directions on getting to Killarney, see the Queen Mary Falls page.
