Hard track
This walk starts near the car park off Ocean Road, Lorne, taking you to Erskine Falls via a singular track, visiting Splitter Falls Lookout and Straw Falls along the way. Embark on this peaceful walk following the Erskine River through rainforests and lush green fern gullies carved out by rivers and waterfalls, with streams and cascades along the way. The uphill hike is challenging, but the views of the scenic falls and lush rainforest ecosystem make it well worth it. After the rains, the falls are at their most majestic. However, this walk should not be attempted when water levels are high. Be prepared for steep steps up and down, a slightly slippery path, and occasional rock hopping river crossings. At Erskine Falls, there is a very easily accessible upper viewing platform and a lower platform with better views that requires descending about 240 steps, with a couple of rest stops. The stairs are well made and have handrails, so there is not much risk of tripping or slipping. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
