Silverband Falls (Grampians National Park, Victoria, Australia)

Silverband Falls

Silverband Falls is an unusual waterfall because it tends to disappear into the ground and its stream reappears further downstream.

We certainly noticed that on our visit, and I don't think we had even seen a waterfall exhibit this kind of behavior before. If the falls had greater flow, it might be more difficult to tell that the falls disappears underground beneath the jumble of rocks at its base. So I reckon this is a case of where less means more.

Because the falls is situated in the Grampians National Park, we were fortunate to see this waterfall as it had been previously closed due to the devastating wildfires in January 2006 (our visit was in November 2006).

What kind of deeer is this? From the car park, we took a short 30- to 40-minute walk along a mostly flat track. We did spot what looked like "reindeers" while on this bushwalk. However, I was unable to verify if they really were reindeers, and I still couldn't figure out what exactly type of deer we saw.

Directions: From Halls Gap in Grampians National Park, we went south for about 7km towards the Silverband Rd (the turnoff is right across from Lake Bellfield). The car park for Silverband Falls is a short distance on this road.

In theory, we could've come in on Silverband Rd from the MacKenzie Falls side, but that part of the road was closed due to fire damage.
