Trentham Falls Trentham Falls is said to be Victoria's highest single-drop waterfall as it plunges 32m over intriguing basalt cliffs. It looked like there used to be access to the base of this waterfall, but apparently a recent landslide caused its closure. Even as we hopped the barricade and took a closer look, we could see that the track had degenerated into a difficult scramble against foliage with lots of thorny stems. I'll leave it up to you to decide if it's worth it or not though you should be mindful that they want to let this area revegetate so tramping here would certainly hinder that effort. The approach we took was the M79 out of Melbourne and then the Calder Fwy along the C792 to the town of Woodend (about 72km northwest of Melbourne). We checked out the Organ Pipes en route (some 28km northwest of Melbourne). From Woodend, we headed west on Tylden Rd for about 12km until we hit Trentham Rd. Turning left onto Trentham Rd, we followed the signs to Trentham Falls Rd eventually getting to the car park. It was about 10km from the Tylden-Trentham Rd intersection to the car park.
