Marriners Falls is a small but quaint 5m (possibly a little taller) waterfall nestled in the forest lands in back of the coastal town of Apollo Bay.
The thing we remembered most about this waterfall was that we had to cross the stream a bunch of times (we counted about 5), but most of these crossings involved just a bit of nifty boulder hopping to keep our feet dry. I think there was just one where it was a little harder to do that (though it's much easier if you had Gore-tex).
The walk took us about an hour return. But the relative effort required to get to the falls (both driving and walking) made it a pretty quiet place despite the waterfall's small size. Still, I wonder given its close proximity to Apollo Bay, I reckon it must be a pretty popular spot and we just happened to be there towards the end of the day when it was rather quiet.
Directions: From Apollo Bay, we took the Barham Valley Rd (on the southwest part of town along the Barham River) for about 11km. Parts of the road become almost single-lane road so we had to be careful about blind turns and fast cars (usually locals who know these roads) going the other way.

Whoever penned the last sentence hadn't been there for some time. Signs on the most important intersection aren't apparent which cost me about 10 minutes, and another sign was overgrown with foxglove...[more]
