The track to Sheoak Falls is one of many scenic trails winding their way through the Great Otway National Park. Follow Sheoak Creek downstream to the aptly named Swallow Cave, home to countless swallows in spring, before continuing on to Sheoak Falls. The return loop along the Sheoak track branches off to Castle Rock, where a cliff-top lookout offers sweeping ocean views.

Note: Sheoak Falls Walk has a low river crossing due to the replacement of a bridge with stepping stones and should not be attempted when river levels are high.
