Interesting facts about this location
Triplet Falls
Triplet Falls are waterfalls located in the Great Otway National Park, Victoria, Australia. The Falls are fed by the Young Creek and as the name suggests there are three falls that cascade over a lush rainforest to the floor of the valley. The three streams normally flow when there has been significant rain upstream, so it's not uncommon to see only one or two streams flowing.
