La La Falls isn’t one of the tallest waterfalls in Victoria. But it’s certainly one of the most picturesque. The drive to the walk is only just a short drive from the Warburton Township. The trail starts at Irruka Road and ends at the falls themselves. The walk is a 1.6km steady uphill climb through lush forest. It might be a bit demanding with exposed rocks and tree roots along the way. (From Internet)
This was taken after a few days of intermittent rains. According to local residents the water flow was reasonably good.
According to Travis Eastern in his book “Melbourne’s Waterfalls”:
"The part of Warburton now occupied by the former Sanitarium factory was once known as La La after a guest house of the same name which was run by Leila Ward in the late 1800s. La La means welcome welcome in Woiwurrung. The falls have been a popular tourist destination since then.

Catchment: Yarra River
