Sheoak Falls is a fairly impressive waterfall near the coastal town of Lorne in the Angahook Lorne State Forest (part of the Great Otway National Park). We stumbled upon this 15-20m waterfall while driving the Great Ocean Road near the tail end of this excursion.
From the well-signed car park (see directions below), we walked a 30 minutes return track that made us hike uphill in the beginning (affording us with decent coastal views) before heading inland along a cliff towards the falls itself. The forested and rocky valley settings here was quite a serene contrast to the dramatic waves of the Southern Ocean crashing against the shores by the Great Ocean Road (see the falls in full flow here).
There's also a much longer 7km one-way route from the Sheoak Picnic Area, which we didn't do.
Directions: Sheoak Falls is about 6km south of Lorne along the Great Ocean Road. However, we were headed to the falls from Apollo Bay, which was about 40km along the Great Ocean Road.

Going Cuckoo
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]
