About St Josephs Falls

Technically located on private property but easily accessible from Oonah Road, St Josephs Falls is an impressive waterfall that can range from a wide wall of water in winter and spring to a couple of thin strands of flow in summer.  

To reach the falls, travel along Oonah Road until you reach a large bend where  the road crosses the St Josephs River. There is a small parking area beside the river on the eastern side of the road, and from there it is just a short walk 100 metres downstream along an old track to a clifftop overlook of the falls. It is possible to continue further along a scrambly path to the base of the falls, however the descent is very steep and often unpleasant, requiring you to avoid the extensive field of blackberries that cover the area.
