Wander your way through lush vegetation along the transition zone of Manna Gum on the slightly higher parts of the slope and Rainforest vegetation that shelters the tranquil Snobs Creek. The falls generally runs all year round and the viewing platform provides an excellent location to observe and feel the power of water plummeting 20m below. Gazing northwards down the forested gully the series of waterfalls can be heard cascading down the slope.

The Central Highlands of Victoria have been logged for more than 150 years, with the majority of timber extracted going into making paper or cardboard boxes. As a result of past overcutting and recurrent wildfires, there is now very little forest that if logged will produce sawn timber. Only poor-quality trees that will be chipped for paper making are left. The bottom line is that Victoria will be financially better off without logging in Mountain Ash and Alpine Ash forests; some estimates suggest that the state would be ahead by between $110 million and $190 million annually if logging stopped today. This problem needs to be recognised.

We propose adding 355,000 hectares of protected forests to the Central Highlands of Victoria to form the Great Forest National Park
Currently there is only 170,000 hectares of parks and protected areas in the Central Highlands of Victoria
