Pipeline Track to Silver Falls

20 min to 30 min

Starting from Fern Tree Park off Huon Road, Wellington Park, this return track takes you to Silver Falls via the Pipeline and Silver Falls tracks. Grand tree ferns protecting you from the sun, the constant sound of water and the peaceful ambience make your way towards the cascade quite enjoyable. You'll pass by Fern Tree Bower on your way, which used to be a well-known picnic site. Read the interpretive signs if you're interested in the history of this place. Then you'll make it to Silver Falls, a pretty little waterfall marking the midpoint of your journey. You can explore further if you have the time or retrace your steps from here. Dogs are only allowed on the Pipeline Track. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Many locals use this relatively flat and shaded track to travel between the two locations as it is much less boring than the concrete path. Tall tree ferns, refreshing creek crossings and historic places like the Fern Tree Bower along the way make this journey quite worthwhile. The historic picnic site (Fern Tree Bower) used to be quite popular, and you can read all about it from the interpretive signs. Another point of interest you'll pass by is the Wishing Well. Make a wish if you feel like it. Come springtime and you can see heaps of wildflowers, including rhododendrons. Dogs are allowed on leash.
