Mt Field & Botanical Gardens

菲尔德山与皇家植物园

from AUD $135

THE EXPERIENCE

Mt Field is older than the rainforests of the Amazon. The fern gullies you walk through today were already ancient when the first humans reached Tasmania 40,000 years ago. This is a day for moving slowly — three waterfalls, a grove of the world's tallest flowering trees, and an afternoon in the Southern Hemisphere's oldest botanical garden, established in 1818. Bring a rain jacket; the rainforest is rainforest for a reason.

Highlights

01

Russell Falls — three-tiered cascade in deep rainforest

THE JOURNEY

Detailed Itinerary

01

Lady Barron Falls

巴伦夫人瀑布

A quieter, deeper-set waterfall reached by a 40-minute loop walk through tree ferns and moss-covered logs. Less photographed than Russell Falls, but often the favourite of those who walk both.

02

Tall Trees Walk

高树观景步道

A 20-minute boardwalk through a grove of Tasmanian swamp gum (Eucalyptus regnans) — the tallest flowering trees on earth. The largest specimens here exceed 80 metres.

03

Horseshoe Falls

马蹄瀑布

A 10-minute detour from Russell Falls, named for the curve in the rock face that sends water sheeting outwards in a perfect arc.

04

Russell Falls

罗素瀑布

Three tiers of water cascading through dense rainforest — the most photographed waterfall in Tasmania, and rightfully so. The 25-minute return walk is paved and gentle.

05

Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens

霍巴特皇家植物园

Established 1818 — the second-oldest botanical garden in Australia and the only one in the world maintaining a Subantarctic Plant House. Expect to spend at least 90 minutes.
