Little Aire Falls is a waterfall located in the Otway Ranges, in the locality of Beech Forest, Victoria, Australia. The waterfall's diminutive name derives from the Little Aire Creek, a tributary of the Aire River. The waterfall contains a singular drop, with a total height of 30.78 metres (101 feet).[1]
The waterfall was first photographed and featured in a newspaper as early as 1903, with Charles Lamond Forrest (the namesake for the nearby town of Forrest) being a group member on that trip.[1]
In 2005, the Victorian Government announced that a considerable amount of investment into tourism would take place in the Otways, as logging would be eventually phased out in the area by 2008. These improvements included better access to Little Aire Falls and nearby Triplet Falls, with the construction of walking tracks.[1]
