At Ladies Bath Falls, water cascades into a perfectly clear pool of water, while at Upper and Lower Eurobin Falls, Crystal Creek spills spectacularly over a formidable granite escarpment. With only a short walk to see all three, this is an excellent half-day trip if you are holidaying near Bright.
Ladies Bath and Eurobin Falls is one of the first places you can stop on your way up Mount Buffalo. In the early 20th century, travellers would stop here to cool off on their way to the Mount Buffalo chalet. The men and women would separate and Ladies Bath is where the women would come to dip their toes in the refreshing waters of Crystal Brook.
Although the waterfall doesn't look very big, this creek has formed the huge chasm you will see up at the top of Eurobin Falls.
This is a great place for a picnic and, in the summer, to escape the heat of the Ovens and Buckland valleys.
If you are cooling off at Ladies Bath Falls, be careful walking over the rocks as they can be very slippery.
As waterfalls are within a natural environment, you may encounter hazards. Follow our water safety advice to make sure your day out at Ladies Bath and Eurobin Falls is a safe and enjoyable one.
