toorongo falls and amphitheatre falls
Toorongo Falls Reserve, Noojee is a magical spot for waterfall lovers and a favourite outdoor adventure for Mamma. The reserve boasts two stunning waterfalls—Toorongo Falls and Amphitheatre Falls—accessible via a kid-friendly bush walk along a well-formed trail (though not pram-friendly). As you wander through the forest, cross a bridge over rushing rapids, and climb into the hills, the view of the cascading waters from the lookout platforms is simply mesmerising. Mamma recommends tackling the 2.2km loop in an anti-clockwise direction to reach Toorongo Falls first, then continue across the top to Amphitheatre Falls before descending alongside a moss-covered river. The trail has some steep stairs and can be slippery when wet, but it’s manageable and makes for a beautiful hour-long bush adventure.

noojee trestle bridge rail trail
Noojee – often called “Nooj” – is a charming town on the Latrobe River in Western Gippsland, rich in pioneering history. The town is famous for two treasures: the Noojee Hotel and the Noojee Trestle Bridge, the tallest surviving trestle bridge in Victoria at just over 100 metres long. Families can admire the bridge from below or climb the steep staircase to the top. For a bigger adventure, take the easy 6 km return trail from the station car park off Mt Tourist Road, spot the historic J-550 train, and enjoy the crisp mountain air while learning about the area’s logging history at the Heritage Centre.
