Dights Falls — Attraction in Melbourne

Name
Dights Falls
Description
Dights Falls is a rapid and weir on the Yarra River in Melbourne, Victoria, just downstream of the junction with the Merri Creek. At this point the river narrows and is constricted between 800,000-year-old volcanic, basaltic lava flow and a much older steep, silurian, sedimentary spur.

Daughter and dad out for a walk. Went back here for the first time in a while. Thanks to Parks Vic for all the upgrade work since the last visit. Easy to walk around and the signs were really informative. Liked being able to walk to the edge of the falls and also see some of the old flour mill ruins. Thanks for keeping them! Really enjoying the peace and quiet and being able to get a close to nature feel so close to suburbia. Thanks...

Dight falls where Merri creek and the Yarra meet up! I’m lucky enough to be a regular around this area. Main capital trial provides raw and natural views mixed in with the sounds and sights of nature. There’s a wonderful seated area to soak in the peacefulness and also a platformed area to get closer to the falls. It’s a great spot to just chill out, breath and it’s very close to the...

Some relatively small falls with a viewing platform, just a short walk away from the carpark. Dogs are allowed on leash, but in the summer the metal platform gets very hot, and can burn their paws if they don't have shoes on.

Dights Falls are a nice little falls in the Yarra River. Easily accessed via public Transport (you can easily walk here from Victoria Park Railway Station). Due to the large amount of rainfall we have had in Melbourne in the last few months, the water level is very high, and the lower part of the trail was closed off to pedestrians. There are toilets 🚻 at the Dights Falls Carpark.
