Russell Falls Tour from Hobart
Russell Falls is an easy 10 minute walk from the visitors centre through the forest, which most visitors can undertake with ease. Just 300 meters further on are the equally beautiful Horseshoe Falls which the more energetic among the tour group may like to visit. Along the way you will walk beneath the forest canopy and gaze at large flowering gums, giant ferns and perhaps see some of the unique wildlife that abounds in the Tasmania bush. Mt Field National Park was the first National Park gazzetted in Tasmania and some of the trees found there are over 400 years old. Prime location to see the Tasmanian Devil in it's natural habitat, the forest is also home to many species of Australian animals. Walk softly and there is every chance of seeing a wallaby or two.
Take the time to learn about the difficulties of introducing trout into Australian waters way back in the 1800's. The Salmon Ponds also has a Trout Fishing Museum and beautiful gardens, which makes this stop something special. Russell Falls Day Tour is really a good trip and no visit to Hobart would be complete if you don't go and take some photos at Russell Falls. Value for money.
