Nigretta Falls — Attraction in Bulart

I recently visited Nigretta Falls, located about 16 km west of Hamilton, Victoria. The falls feature a multi-tiered cascade over ancient rhyolitic rock formations, creating a unique geological landscape. An easy 100-meter walk from the car park leads to a viewing platform, making it accessible for most visitors.

However, during my visit, the water flow was minimal due to recent dry conditions. While the rock formations and surrounding scenery are still beautiful, the falls are most impressive after significant rainfall, typically later in the winter season.

Please note that as of May 2025, the stairs and viewing platform at Nigretta Falls are undergoing replacement due to damage sustained in the 2022 floods. The Southern Grampians Shire Council has initiated a $615,651 project to upgrade these facilities, with completion expected by early 2025. The new structures will feature modern, lightweight materials to ensure durability and accessibility . Mapcarta +4 sthgrampians.vic.gov.au +4 World of Waterfalls +4

There is a lovely open ground near the car park while the lookout spot gives a good view of the waterfall. You can reach the base of the waterfall with man made stairs and the waterfall is nothing but lovely. You can take yourself to a nice dip in the waterfall. Overall, a beautiful in...

Phenomenal falls to view... these and Wannon Falls are both beautiful and easy to get to, with the viewing platforms being a few steps from the car parks. Highly recommend... maybe its because of all the rain lately, but both falls were full on - absolutely beautiful! I think Nigretta was even better than Wannon. Will definitely go back to do the steps, but was too late/too cold and very...
