When I started this project if someone had told me that there was a river with 13 substantial, yet unmapped waterfalls on it within 90 kilometres of a city of four million people I wouldn’t of believed them. The fact that this is merely the tip of the iceberg has been a revelation.

In 2007 I began a quest to visit every waterfall around Melbourne, imagining it would take me a few months
to complete. The eight year journey of discovery I have been on since then has been beyond all expectations.
After visiting all the waterfalls on current maps, I started finding other drops in old books, photos and vintage maps. As my familiarity with the terrain around Melbourne increased, I began wandering down likely gullies and
started finding waterfalls. This slowly expanded into a systematic examination of the topography of all likely
waterways around Melbourne, and to my amazement has resulted in many more waterfall discoveries. This trilogy is the result and documents all the waterfalls I could find both popular and unmapped within a 100km radius of Melbourne.

Melbourne’s Waterfalls, Volume Three: Eastern Waterfalls documents 107 of these waterfalls (plus another 60 water features of interest), and in total includes the details for 251 tiers.
