Template:Short description Template:Use Australian English Template:Use dmy dates Barfold Gorge is a four-kilometre long gorge on the Campaspe River at Barfold in Victoria in Australia. It is up to 80 metres deep and has two waterfalls, basalt columns and a lava cave. It was created by a sequence of four or more lava flows which commenced six million years ago. The gorge is on private property, a 246 hectare sheep and cattle farm and is rarely open to the public. However, a conservation covenant has been incorporated in the land title.[1]

There are 95 bird species recorded for the gorge environs including peregrine falcons. Other flora and fauna include platypus, rare fish and the hairy anchor plant (Discaria pubescens), a rare and endangered plant species.[2]
