Tasmanias most famous waterfall and one of the first nature reserves declared in Australia. Russell Falls cascades in a horseshoe shape over two tiers through a canopy of towering tree ferns and ancient myrtle beech forest. The short walk from the car park is fully accessible and leads through some of Tasmanias finest temperate rainforest.
