The Wannon Falls are a punchbowl waterfall located approximately 19 kilometres west of Hamilton.
The falls are fed by the Wannon River that has its head waters in the Gampians.
They plunge over a basalt lava cliff dropping into a large plunge pool 30 metres below. Downstream of the falls there is a narrow steep-walled valley, with cascades around large blocks that have fallen in from the sides. The narrow valley was eroded as the falls retreated upstream as a result of undermining of a soft bed of sediments that underlies the hard basalt.
Adjacent to the falls there is a recreational reserve with picnic areas and some interpretation signs,
There is also a camping area with toilets.

Victoria is Australia's second smallest State and covers only 3% of Australia's land area but has the second highest population of all States and Territories. Victoria's mainland and islands have a total length of 2,512 kilometres coastline which is about 4.2% of Australia's 59,736 kilometres of coastline. Australia is the driest inhabited continent and Victoria is no exception although the state capital Melbourne has the reputation to have 4 seasons in one day. Victoria is located in the southeast of mainland Australia and includes the most southern point on mainland Australia at Wilsons Promontory National Park.
