Russell Falls Tour from Hobart
One of the most celebrated waterfalls in Tasmania is beautiful Russell Falls in Mt Field National Park. This bus tour takes you from Hobart to Mt Field to see Russell Falls and visits Something Wild Nature Sanctuary. Fantastic bus trip to Mt Field National Park, Tasmania.
Hidden among the giant ferns and dense rainforest of Mount Field National Park is the stunningly beautiful Russell Falls.
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.
Departing
Mt Field National Park you will stop at Something Wild wildlife sanctuary
where they treat injured wildlife. Something Wild is not a zoo as such
and many animals roam the grounds freely. Here you can see the Tasmanian
Devil, Platypus, Golden Possums, Wombats, Wallabies and many more in
over 1200 acres of protected habitat.
Something Wild is the world's largest Tasmanian Devil sanctuary and leads the effort to halt the cancer disease, called Devil Facial Tumor Disease, currently decimating the Devil population. You can help fight this challenge by Adopting A Devil. All donations will help ensure the Tasmanian Devil is hopefully never extinct.
Duration of the tour is 6 hours, departing Hobart at 9.15am every Sunday. Cost per adult is around $100 pp with child rates half price. Entry into the National Park and Something Wild is included. Hotel pickup can is available for most central Hobart hotels.
