About Diogenes Falls

Dropping 20 metres on the powerful Diogenes Creek, Diogenes Falls is a bell-shaped waterfall that is just one of the numerous waterfalls in the Styx Valley without an official name or track. The falls are quite impressive to view, although the large logs that have fallen across the cliff make them a bit awkward to photograph cleanly.

The falls are accessed by an off-track hike from an unnamed spur off Styx Road, and a visit should only be attempted by experienced bushwalkers. Use a GPS to navigate to the point closest to the falls on the road, then make your way through the open rainforest until you reach the top of the gorge through which the creek flows. The descent to the base of the falls is incredibly steep and difficult, and extreme care should be taken.
