Snobs Creek Falls Snobs Creek Falls is a pretty cascading waterfall in the Rubicon State Forest near Eildon. And unlike the other waterfalls we had seen in northern Victoria, you can see from the photo above that this one had some pretty decent flow. Thus, this falls was particularly memorable to us (especially in light of the much lighter flowing Beechworth waterfalls like Newtown Falls and Woolshed Falls that we had seen just the day before in our November 2006 trip). I also remembered a plaque at the overlook commemorating a local child who tragically got swept away into the creek. The name of this waterfall may at first suggest it has something to do with a rich snob. However, it really has to do with a West Indian bootmaker who operated a boot shop nearby. And the term snob was an old English word for someone who makes or repairs boots. From Wangaratta, we took the Hume Hwy (C314 I think) towards Euroa, where we exited to the left on the Euroa-Mansfield Rd (C366 I think) until we turned right onto Maroondah Hwy at Merton (C516). Eventually the highway forks where the left path becomes the Goulburn Valley Hwy (B340), and we followed this road until we reached Snobs Creek Rd on the right. After a few minutes of driving, the parking bay for the falls will be on the left.
