An excellent walk that offers the best of the Mt Field National Park's lower altitude tracks. It includes Russell Falls, Lady Barron Falls, the Tall Trees Walk and more.

Highlights

Mt Field offers a unique opportunity to sample the rich diversity of Tasmania's plant life, from the wet sclerophyll and rainforest species along this walk, to the alpine species in the higher reaches of the park.

This walk will take you through tall forests dominated by the tallest flowering plant on Earth, the swamp gum (Eucalyptus regnans), and species typical of Tamania's cool temperate rainforests - many of which are found nowhere else on Earth.
