Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Horseshoe Falls, Central Highlands, Mount Field National Park, Tasmania TAS 7140 Australia
Russell Falls is easily Tasmania’s most recognisable waterfall with its 3-tiered drop. It is an easy and enjoyable walk along a beautiful forest track among mixed forest and temperate rainforest species. This is Tassie’s most photographed waterfall, and we soak up the awesome view before continuing our walk. Just beyond Russell Falls we climb the stairs to Horseshoe Falls, a majestic waterfall snuggled in the forest, which some regard as even more impressive than Russell Falls!

Stop At: Tall Trees Walk, Mount Field National Park, Tasmania Australia
A short 30 minute circuit trail takes us around the Tall Trees Track. High above us stand the giant Swamp Gums around 80 metres tall. This is a series of short, spectacular walks amongst the cool and quiet rainforest, eucalypts, streams, and local wildlife.

We visit Bonorong Wildlife Park which is home to many of our rescued and well-loved wildlife.

We time our visit here for a Tasmanian Devil feeding, a fun and interactive experience with our special endangered Devils.
