Just 2km from the Little River Falls as you drive around the windy dirt road you will reach the Little River Gorge. A short, at times a steep walk from the carpark you will reach the deepest gorge in Victoria. The view is jaw dropping. Your jaw will drop as you take in deep breaths of fresh air to gain your breath back, but also as you take in the magnificent view. In our opinion it is well worth the journey. A photographers dream. If only the photos did it justice.

Our Experience
We loved our visit to the Little River Gorge. The walk was exhilarating. Being nature lovers we loved walking along the windy and at times steep trail. At times not being the fittest we were out of breath. Once we reached the viewing platform our only focus was the spectacular view.

The walk was truly worth it. Whilst the walk from the carpark to the viewing platform was short but steep it sure did offer fantastic views. We also met some great people. Being unsure whether our campervan would be suitable to make the journey to McKillops Bridge, these lovely, kind people we met put our mind at ease and advised us to follow them. They’d visited the area a few times and were in a 4wd. Now this is a very practical vehicle to have on this road. Obligingly we took up their offer to follow them, but first we needed time to take in the breathtaking views and have photos with Minky. Like so many, they loved Minky.

How was the Little River Gorge formed?
You’ll find information boards providing a snapshot on how the Little River Gorge was formed. It is fascinating and hard to take in that the gorge has created after million of years eroding away at the rock.
If you’re interested to know about some of the animals that call the gorge home you can read up about that too.

What are the roads like
The dirt roads snake through the Snowy River National Park. The mountainous windy road may require some whom experience travel sickness to take motion sickness tablets. Depending on your destination and vehicle you are driving always ensure before embarking on a road trip through this terrain that you check the road conditions. Ensure you are a competent driver.
If you are traveling from the Little River Gorge onto McKillops bridge be warned it is not recommended for cars towing large vans. There is an 11km part of the road which although it’s two way is only the width of a one way road. If you meet an oncoming car you may be required to reverse on the narrow, windy, dirt, cliff hanging road.

Whilst the below are noted as nearby, don’t be fooled by the distance on the maps, it takes quite some time to get from a to b on these roads, especially if you are wanting to stop and explore as you drive along.
