Cyathea Falls is about a 10m waterfall tumbling in a lush Gippsland rainforest.
Unfortunately, during our November 2006 visit, this waterfall wasn't flowing very well due to the drought. And not even the recent rains that had occurred during our trip at the time were sufficient enough to revive the falls and bring back its vigor.
In any case, we did have a pleasant time strolling the 35-minute loop walk that takes in this waterfall as well as other rainforest features with interpretive signs to keep us busy. What was kind of interesting was that as the rain stopped falling and the sun started coming out, there was a certain bit of heat and humidity that took us by surprise.
Directions: The car park is in a clearing known as Tarra Valley and getting here requires a bit of careful driving on very curvy and narrow roads. In fact, the roads near the car park were single lane.
From Traralgon (which was our approach), we headed south on Traralgon Creek Rd for about 30km until we turned right onto Grand Ridge Rd. We followed this road for about 7km to the car park at Tarra Valley.
From Yarram, take the Tarra Valley Rd for about 22km to the north until you reach the Tarra Valley car park.
