Know before you go. A valid Tasmania parks pass is required. Russell Falls is reached on a wide, very easy track that suits wheelchairs and prams. Higher up it is a different park: the road to the Lake Dobson car park is 16km of winding gravel beyond the entrance, and snow can mean chains are needed or the road is closed — ring 03 6288 1149 for road conditions before you drive up. Tarn Shelf is at its best in autumn when the fagus turns.
Tasmania''s oldest national park with tall swamp gums, alpine tarns, and the iconic three-tiered Russell Falls.
