The Toorongo Falls Reserve protects two waterfalls, Amphitheatre Falls (first below) on the Toorongo River and Toorongo Falls (second below) on the Little Toorongo River, including the confluence of those two rivers, in West Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. It is located approximately 6 kilometres north-east of the town of Noojee, approximately 100 kilometres east of Melbourne.
The reserve contains two bush walking tracks, which total 2.22 kilometres, taking a loop around the two waterfalls, and allowing the visitors to take the wide range of native experiences the area has to offer.
The Reserve is home to wet forest types, including mountain grey gum, mountain ash, manna gum, blackwood and Austral mulberry. A variety of ferns thrive in the damp conditions including the necklace fern, soft tree fern, and the long fork-fern. Animals found in the reserve include common and mountain brushtail possum, ringtail possum, sugar glider, and a variety of bats. Red-bellied black snakes are commonly found during warmer periods.

Toorongo Falls are impressive to look at. And to take photos of. But is a part of Victoria we never visited.
