Itinerary

Mount Field National Park

one hour

Mount Field is one of Tasmania’s oldest National Parks, and surely the prettiest. Only 1.5 hours from Hobart, this natural wonderland features lush temperate rainforest, moody alpine moorland and cascading waterfalls. It’s a place of serenity and great short walks – and there are plenty on the agenda.
Russell Falls

45 min Admission included

We begin with the walk to Russell Falls which 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.
Horseshoe Falls

30 min Admission included

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!
Tall Trees Walk

one hour Admission included

We continue along the Three Falls Circuit and enter the section known as the Tall Trees Track. High above us stand the giant Swamp Gums around 80 metres tall, the world's tallest flowering plant.

We enjoy our lunch break in one of the many beautiful picnic settings of the National Park.
Lady Barron Falls

one hour Admission not included

For the keen hikers continue along the full Three Waterfalls Trail and tick off the final waterfall - Lady Baron Falls.
Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary

1 h 30 min Admission included

Next up is Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary where you’ll meet all kinds of native wildlife. Learn about Tasmania’s rare and precious fauna during an informative wildlife tour conducted by the expert staff at Bonorong.
Mount Wellington

30 min

We take a drive from Bonorong which takes about 60 minutes. We arrive at the summit of Mt Wellington standing proud behind Hobart at 1271 metres above sea level. We enjoy 30 minutes on top of the world. If your eyes aren’t watering from the icy air, they will be from the sweeping views. See the entire city, surrounding mountains and Derwent river system sparkling at your feet.

We return to Hobart at around 5:30pm
