Tasmania is home to all the natural wonders that your heart could possibly desire, and some of the very best are safely tucked away in the heart of the Mount Field National Park. Breathtaking waterfalls are scattered all around it, and here are three that deserve a spot on your bucket list if you find yourself in Tasmania.
Russell Falls
The Russell Falls is so iconic that it even made its way to one of Australia’s first postage stamps, and it’s not hard to see why. This tiered cascade waterfall is a true marvel of Mount Field’s eastern border, and its lush forest surroundings are just as breathtaking as the waterfall itself.
Lady Barron Falls
The majority of waterfalls in this national park are scattered around Mount Field’s Loop Walk, and that’s the case with the Lady Barron Falls. This waterfall is quite small in comparison to some of Tasmania’s best, but it’s still a joy to watch it descend over the sandstone layers underneath after a long hike.
Horseshoe Falls
Located in close proximity to both of the previous waterfalls, the Horseshoe Falls is another must-see attraction that will make you see Tasmania in a whole new light. It may not be as spectacular as Russell Falls, but it’s worth taking a short walk for the picturesque moss-covered rocks that add to its magical feel.
