La La Falls in Warburton . . .

This image is included in a gallery "Beautiful Images" curated by Robert Baruzzi.

 

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.
