Nigretta Falls

Nigretta Falls, formerly the Upper Wannon Falls, are located within the Grampians region about 16kms from Hamilton.

Nigretta Falls’ water comes from Wannon River and plunges over numerous rocky structures to create a spectacular display before collecting in a pool and flowing downstream to Wannon Falls, which is located about 10kms away.

At the falls, visitors get to access superb viewing platforms that allow for a panoramic view of the surrounding area. For those who enjoy a bit of walking, there are numerous tracks around the falls where visitors can take in the surrounding forest and wildlife in the area. What’s more, there are selected fishing areas where visitors can catch a few fish to take home.

For the adrenaline junkie, the stairway made of jarrah timber, and which leads up to the base of the falls certainly provides a thrilling walk. There are also toilets on location, as well as barbecue facilities and picnic tables made from red gum, a tree that is much loved in the Grampians area.

You can camp nearby at the Nigretta Falls Scenic Reserve which is equipped with toilets, BBQ’s and picnic tables. There are no showers on site. Come and stay overnight on your trip to the falls and bring a picnic as it promises to be a day full of fun and adventure for visitors.
