Swimming at Cumberland Falls near Lorne

Swimming at Cumberland Falls in the Cumberland River valley in the Otway Ranges National Park south of Lorne. Includes track notes at the three river crossings. This video should be viewed in conjunction with my video of Jebbs Pool, which is located along the same walking track.

Thanks for that. Gorgeous river. But you missed out on the bigger pool - about 150m further up.

Thanks David, who knew?! Looks like I might have to pull on the hiking boots again. Is there a track as such upstream of the falls or is it a scramble? I went above the falls but didn't spot a track that continued on?

Well I see that you can swim there but I got a question I know there's places where you can wait up to your ankles up to your knees are you still allowing people to Wade

Hi Carl, I'm not sure I've understood your question correctly, but the river is quite shallow in parts, particularly in summer, when it wouldn't be more than ankle/shin deep in most places. The pool where I swam immediately downstream of the falls is however at least two metres deep in the deepest part.
