A moderately strenuous 1.5 km walk along Four Mile Creek takes you to the small but pretty La La Falls (also known as Bridal Falls) flanked by tree ferns. During wet weather a number of small streams cross the foot track, which can make it a bit damp underfoot. In very wet weather, ‘walking upstream’ might be an appropriate term.
If you listen carefully you can often hear the call of Lyrebirds in the vicinity.
The part of Warburton between the narrow cutting that divides the town and the Yarra River bridge was often referred to as La La Township or La La. A Miss Leila Ward owned much of the land before being subdivided. It has been written that La La was a term used by Miss Ward for her guesthouse, meaning ‘Welcome Welcome’, however the similarity to her Christian name ‘Leila’ may also be a clue to the name’s origin.
Melbourne people came to Warburton early this century because of the fresh mountain air and to enjoy places such as La La Falls.
This cache contains a logbook as well as the usual items to exchange.
