Beauchamp Falls is a waterfall located in the Otway Ranges, within the locality of Beech Forest, Victoria, Australia.[1] The waterfall consists of a singular drop, and is at a total height of 18.71 metres (61.4 feet).[2]
The waterfall is most likely named after New Zealand-born George Fox Beauchamp-Proctor (1859–1955), who was the engineer in charge of the construction of the Beech Forest Railway.[2]
Access to the waterfall from Beech Forest is via Binns Road, then to Flannigan Road, and then Beauchamp Falls Road, which then reaches a picnic and camping area. From this area, a walking path, with views of mountain ash and ferns, reaches the waterfall, which is 3 km in return.[2][3]
