Description and access

The waterfall is named after Annie Olive Madsen (née Hobson) (1914–2009) who, alongside her Danish-born husband Axel Madsen, donated the land in which the waterfall and state park are located to the Victorian Conservation Trust in 1975.

The waterfall can be accessed via the Melba Gully loop walking track, which can be directly accessed from the Great Ocean Road.
