Acquila Falls is a waterfall located on the border of the localities of Benwerrin and Pennyroyal, Victoria, Australia, within the Great Otway National Park. The name possibly originates from a corruption of the scientific Latin name for the wedge-tailed eagle (Aquila audax), commonly found surrounding the Otway Ranges. The waterfall has a singular drop, around 7.24 m (23.8 ft) in height.[1]
