Agnes Falls Scenic Reserve

Hidden within the green rolling hills of the Stzrelecki Ranges, the meandering Agnes River cascades over rocks into a deep picturesque gorge. At 59 metres, Agnes Falls are the highest single span falls in Victoria.

Flora & Fauna - The canopy of tall eucalypts provides food and nesting areas for a variety of birds including the Eastern Yellow Robin, Grey Fantail, Laughing Kookaburra, Currawong and Crimson Rosella and a range of honeyeaters. At night possums and owls emerge from tree hollows to feed amongst the spreading branches of the eucalypts. If you are lucky you may catch a glimpse of a Swamp Wallaby disappearing into the bush.

Agnes Falls Scenic Reserve protects a small remnant of the forests that once covered the Stzrelecki Ranges. Tall Southern Blue Gums together with Blackwood and Silver Wattles grow within the sheltered gorge and along the banks of the Agnes River. The cool moist conditions here support a diverse understorey of Hazel Pomaderris, Blanket-Leaf, dogwood, Prickly Moses, clematis and a ground cover of ferns.The drier north facing slope and ridge support an open understorey of native grasses and sedges.
