Lower Kalimna Falls , Otways NP Victoria Australia,in a bid to spend more time together my husband and l have been making an effort to get out on weekends and find new places, l had seen this waterfall on RB many times and so we set out on a path of discovery ! One thing we have discovered is how far things are from where you park the car lol….......
But it was worth the walk, my picture does this no justice at all and l really want to see this one after decent rain
