There are two stunning waterfalls on the Wannon River. This stream runs west of Hamilton in the Southern Grampians Shire of Victoria’s Western District. The famous Swiss-born artist Abraham-Louis Buvelot painted the Wannon Falls in 1872. In his masterpiece, there is a raging deluge of water. By comparison, the fall I saw in early May 2021 was a modest single stream.
The waterfall cascades from a small river with a rocky bed into a huge chasm filled with enormous boulders and a small lake. What geological event shaped this otherwise flat landscape?
