Whispering Falls

Whispering Falls is Richmond’s hidden gem, set in Mount Richmond Forest Park. A two-hour easy return walk will take you through native podocarp forest, across wooden swing bridges, and along the banks of the Hackett River.
The charm and beauty that surround you are just a small glimpse into what awaits, as you eventually reach a series of waterfalls that resemble a light rain shower. Trickling water drops from great heights, lightly pattering on the limestone rocks below, curtaining you in a halo of spray as you gaze up at the falls. The best time to visit is after some light rain, as during summer, the falls can become quite dry.
Note: Whispering Falls Track is currently closed from the junction with the Hacket Track due to a slip. The area has multiple hazards – do not attempt to cross the slip.
How to get there: The track to the falls begins at the Hackett Carpark, approximately 11km up the Aniseed Valley Road in Hope.
