Toorongo Falls Toorongo Falls is a lovely waterfall in its own reserve just north of the township of Noojee in Gippsland. As you can also see from the photo, the falls did have somewhat decent flow despite the drought plaguing our November 2006 trip. Apparently, this part of Gippsland wasn't as hard hit as some other parts of Victoria. Still, I wonder how much fuller and mistier this falls would be under a more "normal" year in terms of precipitation (see photos of the falls in fuller flow here). I was actually able to combine a visit to this waterfall with Amphitheater Falls (or Amphitheatre Falls) as part of a larger loop walk taking me around an hour to complete. But admittedly, since Julie was waiting back at the car, I might've gone faster than what a relaxed pace would dictate (meaning something more like 90 minutes, I reckon).  , we took the Maroondah Hwy to Melbourne's northeast before making a right onto the Warburton Hwy. We followed the Warburton Hwy towards the Yarra Junction where we proceeded to turn right onto the Noojee Rd (C425). We followed this road past the town of Noojee until we turned left onto the unsealed Toorongo Falls Rd (about 4km east of Noojee). We followed that road to its end where there's a car park for the falls.It took us about 2 hours to get to the car park, but admittedly, we were lost in the Melbourne streets and probably could've saved another 15 minutes (maybe another half-hour?) or so had we been more efficient about it.
