Falls Creek

Overview

Falls Creek is an amazingly beautiful town at any time of year, from the cross country skiing on offer during the winter months to the beautiful scenic walks through the flower filled mountians during Spring. The natural environment and pristine alpine views make Falls Creek a showpiece for film makers.

History

Falls Creek, originally known as 'Horseshoe Creek' by the early cattlemen and re-named during a road survey for the State Electricity Commission in 1938, has grown from a humble SEC hut. The ski resort of Falls Creek was created largely by European workers on the Kiewa Hydro-electricity scheme, who quickly realised that the area was ideal for skiing.
