We visited Live Wire today, it was fantastic. There were suitable activities for everyone in our group, ages range from 3 - 70. Special mention to a very helpful team member called Fraser. Two of my kids aged 8 & 6 had huge reservations about the short circuit, but he stepped in and encouraged them, allowing them to get the confidence to complete the whole course by themselves. Thanks Fraser 👌🏻 legend!

One of the best walks that we had so far and there were so many wildflowers along the way. Nearly 1.7km walk from the car park and took us around 45 mins to go to the waterfall.

The zip line was lots of fun. Gets really close to the trees and was an awesome view. The trampoline nets were really fun. The giant balls were awesome and the ball pit was fun!

We came during mid week and had a good fortune of being the only people at the park for the first hour. Kids went on all courses on the Super Circuit including the large wall and jump into the rope. Great service from the staff including helping my daughter to get up one of the climbs. Definitely visit here again next time we come back.

If you want thrill, this is definitely the place. Do not take it easy the obstacles are really tough but totally worth it.
The equipment and safety is top notch
And the staff is super friendly and accommodating.
An amazing experience 🌟

A 5 minute drive via Allenvale road to Allenvale road carpark from lorne. Park here and cross the road to start the picturesque walk in to phantom falls passing through some private properties with orchards and the river with beautiful ferns growing everywhere, a very easy walk just one hilly section of about 300 metres long other wise mainly flat till you get to the falls and follow the steps to the bottom of the falls, well worth the 40 minute walk each way 😀

Absolutely awesome experience for myself and my client. The staff were so helpful from fitting the harness, safety briefing, and verbal assistance even from the ground when we were struggling and assistance when the Harness came loose halfway during a course.
I highly recommend doing all 5 courses, but it is best to do the hardest (number 2) first.
We spent a truly meaningful Father's Day with the family at Live Wire Park, located in Lorne along the Great Ocean Road. My 10 year old was outstanding on the high obstacle course, displaying impressive confidence as he navigated the numerous zip lines. Meanwhile, my 9 year old had a fantastic time with his Mommy, bouncing joyfully on the trampolines and diving into the ball pit. It was a day filled with excitement, laughter, and cherished memories.#livewirepark #lornebeach #greatoceanroad #Fathersday2024 💖

We hosted our 10-year-old's birthday party at Live Wire Park with about 15 kids, and it was an absolute blast!
Live Wire Park offers activities for every age group, ensuring that all our guests had a great time. The staff were incredibly patient and accommodating, even with our super excited and loud kids. Special shoutout to Prue, who went above and beyond to make our day memorable.
If you're looking for an adventurous and fun-filled venue, I highly recommend Live Wire Park. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic for all ages! Even though the roller coaster zip line wasn't in operation when we went, we all still had fun. My 7 year old could do the short circuit course with my husband trailing behind, whist my 4 and 2 year old had fun bouncing on the trampolines and ball pit. I would love to return without the kids ha ha so I can tackle the giant rock climbing wall and do the more extreme zip line courses

Don’t miss out on this fall if you’re visiting the great ocean road.
It takes almost an hour both ways if kids are accompanying you.
Our kids loved the hike.
There are some steep slopes but it’s easy n any fitness level would be able to do it.

Beautiful Falls (once you make it there), depending on where you park, it could be a simple walk. If you're walking from Allenvale Mill, be prepared for a "Grade 3" hike, which is a 1.5 hour round trip without stopping to sight see. There are some hilly parts to this trip. However, closer to the falls, there are some major inclines and steep stair decent to the falls. However, at the beginning of the walk, before it turns into a hike, you get to walk through an apple orchid, see cows, horses, ducks, and kangaroos.

Phantom Falls is a great destination. Just at the back of Lorne, it is a small hike (one VERY steep incline at the end) which starts at a small farm orchard and ends at a beautiful waterfall. Definitely keep an eye out for tiger snakes, especially in warmer weather.

One of the most stunning waterfalls nearby Lorne, only for those challenging themselves crossing river on flooding days.
Skilled hikers only on rainy days for extremely slippery rocky walk.

Very nice walk to a nice waterfall
A 30 mins walk from parking area to Falls, has flat areas and hills too. Track goes through a farm.

Visited post rain period, track was very muddy but the falls was very impressive.

Spot both domestic and wildlife animals.

A great hike even through wet weather which made the falls spectacular, even if the path gets a bit muddy. Lots of plants, animals and flowers to see along the way.

Only thing to look out for is to return the same way you came when reaching the falls. The track following the rivers goes an alternate route that is longer and goes on a private path.

A hidden treasure just about 100m from the Erksine Falll via the fall’s trail. Further down the trail, the hike turns into a walk down Jurassic park. Love it totally!

Beware of the thorny branches as shown in the photos. If you think you are lost, just backtrack a bit and you will see the other again. Some of the original path may have been blocked by fallen branches and hence the new path around it.

Great falls just a few hundred metres from Erskine falls. Need to cross the river to get there

Not the most spectacular falls, probably best viewed after sufficient rain. However if you’re completing the hike all the way from Erskine Falls to Lorne this is a good pit stop.

We initially went to see Erskine Falls, but then we spotted the Erskine Falls Walking Track to the right of Erskine Falls, and decided to see where it would take us.

Straw Falls is a hidden gem away from the tourist clusters/viewing deck for Erskine Falls and well worth the mild trek. You'll need shows with good grip as there can be mud and slippery rocks. We're very glad we went off the beaten path and 'discovered' this for ourselves!

If the conditions are okay, you can follow the Track right to where the Erskine River distributes into the sea. Due to the river levels being too high, we had to stop where the Track crosses the River.

Loved every thing about our ADVENTURES along the Great Ocean Road.
Including this one.
One regret. .. we didn't spend longer doing it.

Nice place to spend some time. There are various hiking options. The basic one is to go down to the falls, witch is easy and great to do with the children.

Love the fact you have to travel through the "beaten path" to get here. Gorgeous setting, back drop to this waterfall, feels like you are on another world. I had no idea it was near Erskine Falls until I started walking and stumbled across it. Find even the smallest path and explore. Who knows what else you might find.
