Sheoak Falls is one of the most accessible waterfalls on the Great Ocean Road and an ideal 30-40 minute stop during a road-trip without having to turn off the main road anywhere.

The falls can be found about 5 minutes drive from Lorne towards Apollo Bay, parking is on the right hand side of the road.

From the car park, a well-marked and well-maintained trail leads to the Sheoak River valley, from where it's only about a 10-minute walk to the viewpoint.

You can continue on for about another 10 minutes to Swallow Cave.

The trails are comfortable and doable even for the less-trained traveler.
