Ballan-Daylesford Rd, Sailors Falls 3461
Sailors Falls is a stunning waterfall near Daylesford which drops into a lush, fern-lined gully, where Sailors Creek meanders through a series of gorgeous rock pools before continuing on through the Hepburn Regional Park. Located just a few minutes from Daylesford, Sailors Falls also features mineral spring taps, undercover picnic tables, and excellent information displays. Feel like stretching your legs? Take the 1.4km loop walk from the picnic area, down the stairs and follow the creek to the lower mineral springs. Here you follow an old water race to the base of the falls, amongst the ferns and loop back across the creek to return. Sailors Falls is thought to be named after the sailors who jumped ship to seek gold in the area during the 1850’s gold rush. Throughout this area, you can spot the remnants of water races that delivered water around the gold diggings to uncover the nuggets of gold. Hepburn Regional Park is one of six Aboriginal Title parks in Central West Victoria, jointly managed by the Dja Dja Wurrung Clans Aboriginal Corporation and Parks Victoria.
