Waterfalls · Tasmania
Rainforest cascades and alpine drops across the Tasmanian wilderness.
Tasmania has more accessible waterfalls than any other state in Australia, and the combination of rainforest, temperate climate and year-round rainfall means most of them run strongly across every season. This list covers the standouts within a reasonable day trip of Hobart or Launceston.
Dolerite Peaks above Glacial Lakes
Russell Falls and Horseshoe Falls in Mount Field National Park are the single best waterfall walk in Tasmania. Both are reached by a short easy track through 400 year old Antarctic beech forest.
Russell Falls and Tasmania's Oldest National Park
Mount Field contains more waterfalls per square kilometre than any other park in the state. Russell, Horseshoe and Lady Barron falls can all be walked in a single half-day circuit.
Tasmania's Wild West Coast Port
Hogarth Falls near Strahan is reached by an easy track from the town and runs through cool-temperate rainforest. Further up the west coast, the falls accessible from the Gordon River cruise give you the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area at close range.
A Wildlife Sanctuary with No Cars
Maria Island has several short waterfall walks including Bishop and Clerk, and the walk to French's Farm passes small cascades through open forest.
