About Benson Falls

The side trail to D'Alton Falls from the Overland Track passes a multi-tiered waterfall that tumbles towards the Mersey River right beside the track, which are unofficially known as Benosn Falls. The falls are very conspicuous when flowing and are a worthy photo stop, though they sit on a relatively minor creek and dry out through summer.
