Mount Buangor State Park

I went to see the waterfall and wasn't disappointed. Though, the signs indicate it's a 45 minute walk each way, you can use Google maps to get to the upper parking/campground and walk just 200 metres. It's a fine little stroll for any level of fitness/mobility. If Parks cut back some of the giant fern fronds from the bridge it would be good cos visitors can't see past them. The tricky little track off to the left of the bridge took me to a great spot but that 10 metres isn't easy for those with any difficulty walking. The drive in was magical and the drive up the mountain was easy for my 2WD car.

Camped at Middle Creek, which was quiet and well-maintained. The fireplace inside the hut was great, especially since it was unseasonably cold. Only minor complaint is that some of the trails up to Mount Buangor were quite overgrown, but perhaps that's the price you pay for taking the road less travelled. Most people in the area would probably go to the Grampians, but this is a pleasant Plan B or side trip.

Outstanding natural scenery of tall forests, lush rainforest, tumbling waters and interesting trails to explore on mountain bike. Mount Buangor, often looked at from afar as one travels at speed along the freeway, has a very real feeling of remoteness to it, beginning the moment one turns off the Western Freeway onto a dusty gravel road that progressively narrows and climbs into the verdant forested hills. It takes a while to locate the main picnic area to Waterfalls Walk, but once there, you have a feeling of being the only person there (as I was indeed!). Small wooden hut for shelter. Dispersed camping sites (require booking with Parks Victoria). No phone reception. BYO water..Pic: Along Waterfalls Walk (250m).[ Phone pic of Velvia 50 transparency on lightbox.]

Some really hood trails. Some very steep and difficult. Make sure you check maps before heading out.The full circuit is a great hike and suggest doing the 20km in and clockwise direction starting at raglan falls.If you would like to see the cave I suggest doing the 7km loop if you want a little challenge and again complete in a clockwise direction and you will finish near the cave rather than see it at the start of the walk. Be warned the cave section is very steep!

Did the overnight hike, gorgeous views. Watch out for snakes, saw one sun bathing.

Little by name, big by beauty, bit eeerie and quiet. You can climb the peak of the the Pyrenees on Buangor on west side or east, or drive up Lookout Mountain in mt.cole SF.Parks Victoria could sign things better too.

Fantastic park with great camping sites. The waterfall is incredibly refreshing and a lovely spot to visit without much trouble. Great walks and lots of wildlife intertwined through the picturesque natural scenery.

Beautiful scenery with great variety. Pretty steep tracks up and down, so it can be a bit of a challenge. Unfortunately we had a lot of smoke in the air, but otherwise great views.

Big open sites on level ground with long drop toilet nearby. Fire pits and tables and chairs located at each campsite. Easy access with 2WD. Plenty of Wildlife and beautiful trees. Make sure you book your campsite in advance as that is a requirement. No dogs allowed and no drinking water available.

Easily accessible park with a great variety of scenic views. Some areas are still recovering from fires, some time ago, and the campground were soggy after the rains but great day visit.Drove to the upper carpark first, the waterfall is just a short level walk away. Explored the area around the Middle Creek campground as well until we run out of daylight.
