Russell Falls is one of Tasmania’s most iconic waterfalls, cascading in two elegant tiers over stepped rock ledges within the cool temperate rainforest. An easy, sealed path leads from the visitor area through towering tree ferns, making it accessible for most visitors. The falls are especially impressive after rain, when the wide curtain of water flows at full volume.

Visit early as it is a „must see“ of the Mt Field National Park and could be crowded.
