Horseshoe Falls - Mount Field National Park Tasmanis
Russell Falls, Mount Field National Park, Tasmania [Australia]
Russel Falls is arguably Tasmania's prettiest waterfall; it's certainly Tasmania's most photographed and one of the easiest to get to.
The falls are in Mt Field National Park, part of Tasmania's World Heritage Wilderness Area, just over a 1-hr drive from Hobart. One of three falls that share the same watercourse, Russel Falls has a unique character and is the centrepiece of the park.
The falls consist of two main drops with a pleasing segmented, vertical appearance. This, along with its size, gives it a personality all its own.
The 20-minute return walk to the falls is on a good track and boardwalk through lovely rainforest. The walk passes through towering swamp gums and species typical of wet forests and cool temperate rainforests such as dogwood, musk and myrtle. Closer to the falls the track is framed by stunning tall tree ferns.
You can return via the same track or follow the creek back by crossing the bridge below the falls.
For local campers, a walk to the falls at night is made easier with a wooden handrail that follows the path into recesses that are the home of glow-worms. It's truly magical to turn off your torch and find yourself surrounded by hundreds of little lights like stars in the sky.
The two other falls in the park, Lady Barron Falls and Horseshoe Falls, are enchanting in their own right and if you have time are worth the extra effort.
An excellent walk that offers the best of the park's lower altitude tracks includes Russell Falls, Lady Barron Falls and the Tall Trees Walk past giant Eucalyptus regnans, amongst the tallest trees in Australia and the tallest flowering plant on Earth. They are truly spectacular and not to be missed.
A second visitor section, 15 km further up the mountain, takes you to Lake Dobson and the longer day walks. Dramatic mountain scenery and unique alpine plant communities are a feature at this higher altitude.
From Hobart, the drive to the park passes through the beautiful Derwent Valley following the Derwent River for most of the way. Take the opportunity to stop at New Norfolk, one of Tasmania's oldest towns and a great place to find antiques and collectables.
Mt Field has camping facilities, toilets, electric barbecues, kiosk and a visitor centre near the start of the track. Cabins are available just outside the park boundary.
Russel Falls makes a great day trip and will give you a real taste of Tasmania's magnificent wilderness within an easy drive from Hobart.

Russell & Horseshoe Falls ~ Mt. Field NP Tasmania, Australia
The most beautiful falls in the pristine Mt. Field NP are just a short easy walk from the NP camping grounds. The tall swamp gums in the Tall Trees circuit are among the tallest in Australia with a height of up to 30 metres. Just 64 km NW of Hobart, Mt Field NP is a must!

On the day we only took the extra time to check out Horseshoe Falls - to make a second 15km trip further up the mountain to Lake Dobson.
With Dramatic mountain scenery and unique alpine plant communities are a feature. We were surprised and amazed on the day that there was snow! we took a quick walk all around Dobson Lake.

Horseshoe Falls im Mount Field Nationalpark in Tasmanien
Mt Field waterfalls circuit
This walk encompasses three excellent waterfalls in Tasmania's Mt Field National Park: Lady Barron Falls, Horseshoe Falls and Russell Falls. We walked this circuit in a clockwise direction, which is as far as I'm aware the less common way to walk it. The waterfalls were all flowing extremely well, however there were a lot of people out and about, meaning it wasn't a fantastic 'wilderness' experience.
Apologies for not posting for a couple of weeks, I was sick for a bit over a week, so heading out on a bushwalk was not a priority haha.

Russell Falls, Mount Field National Park
The Russell Falls are situated on the eastern boundary of Mount Field National Park, 100 metres (330 ft) downstream of the Horseshoe Falls, approximately 70 kilometres (43 mi) northwest of Hobart via the Brooker and Lyell highways. Accessible by a paved walking track, the falls are a popular tourist attraction. The waterfall descends over horizontal marine Permian siltstone benches, while the vertical faces of the falls are composed of resistant sandstone layers.

DAY 2 landscape photography Tasmania amazing waterfalls at Horseshoe Falls
Follow along in my new series from my recent trip to Tasmania during winter with Andrew Marr and Richard Lefroy. We hired a campervan and set out to find some of the best west Tasmanian locations for landscape photography. This was day 2 and completely packed with more waterfalls and rain. So much rain! Today was the first day that I got that really good feeling on the back of the LCD, and these waterfall photos are something that I'm quite proud of.

A very brief look at the three waterfalls from the Mt Field Camping Area, Tasmania.
Touring CENTRAL TASMANIA - Thousand Lakes | Mount Field National Park
This is the fourth video in our Tasmanian series. We start in Queenstown, a city with a rich mining history. We visit the Spionkopf Lookout, Horsetail Falls, Iron Blow Lookout, Nelson Falls, Donaghys Hill Lookout and Franklin River on our way to the geometrical centre of Tasmania, in Tarraleah. We then explore the Thousand Lakes region and take in some stunning views over Great Lake, Tasmania's largest lake. We stay overnight in the region in the Thousand Lakes Lodge, which we highly recommended. We then make our way to Mount Field National Park. This is one of Tasmania's most beautiful national parks, with sights such as Russell Falls, Horseshoe Falls and the Tall Trees Walk. The next part will be about Hobart, so stay tuned for that video next week.
