Triplet Falls
 Triplet Falls, as the name suggests, consists of three impressive columns of water. In 2003, an act of vandalism forced the closure of this very popular waterfall. The waterfall resides in the Great Otway State Forest, and it is rumored that the incident may be a result of the ongoing battle between those in favor of preserving and expanding the native forests and those who want to continue logging to sustain to produce income. Fortunately for us, we walk is now open and we were able to experience the pretty waterfall and the pleasant rainforest walk. I reckon the high rainfall of the area probably caused enough growth to mask the scars of the chainsaw attack. Nearby this waterfall is another attraction called the Otway Fly. This is a tree-top walk where suspended and elevated walks let you walk amongst the tree tops of towering gum trees. Of the three columns of water, only the rightmost one yields unobstructed views. You will need a wide angle lens if you wish to try to capture all three waterfalls in one shot (as shown above).
