Steavenson Falls
 Steavenson Falls cascades some 84m making it one of Victoria's tallest waterfalls. It is Marysville's main tourist draw, and in fact, the falls was named after John Steavenson who first came to the site of the township back in 1862. The falls was open for tourism four years later. And since then, it has been consistently popular with tourists and locals (it's only a couple of hours or so from Melbourne) alike. Since it sits on the Steavenson River, it has pretty reliable flow. As a matter of fact, there are floodlights present to light up the waterfall at night. The power from these lights come from the hydroelectricity of the flow of the river itself. Even though the falls is tall, as you can see above the photo doesn't really capture the height of the falls. There are a pair of viewing decks on either side of the river at the waterfall's base, but that view is only limited to the very bottom tier. On the viewing deck to the left of the river, there is a plaque commemorating several young ones who died here as a result of a fallen tree. Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
