Victoria's picturesque waterfalls are putting on a spectacular show after record-breaking winter rainfall across the state, and locals are eager to share their experiences with the community.

The region's over 100 charismatic cascades, each with its own unique appeal, are currently flowing strongly, attracting attention from tourists and locals alike. However, with a warm, dry spring forecast, experts warn that this display of natural beauty won't last.

A fleeting spectacle

Federation University's professor of water resources engineering, Andrew Barton, notes that the current spectacle will not last more than a few months before the forecasted strong El Niño takes effect.
