Starting from a car park just off the Lyell Highway, Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park, this walk leads to Nelson Falls and back via the Nelson Falls Trail. This delightful short walk takes visitors alongside a burbling river to the beautiful Nelson Falls, a picturesque waterfall that cascades down a stepped rockface and splashes onto boulders covered in green moss. The short walk to the falls takes you on a flat gravel path through a dense rainforest full of giant ferns, myrtle and sassafras. It's great for all ages, and is also wheelchair access-friendly. Along the way, interpretive panels highlight how the habitat has evolved. The falls are best viewed after heavy rain, or during winter and spring when they're in full flow.

Walk

Starting near the Interpretation Centre/Ranger Station on Cradle Mountain Road in Pencil Pine, Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, the aptly named Enchanted Walk takes you on a lovely circuit though a magical old-growth rainforest alongside Pencil Pine Creek. Stroll along the cascading creek among graceful myrtle trees and ancient pencil pines, surrounded by flourishing lichen and moss. Along the western bank of the creek you will come across several wombat burrows just on the edge of the track. Around dusk and dawn, wombats can be spotted foraging these areas. The walk starts by taking you through buttongrass moorland on a mixture of paved pathway and metal mesh, before heading through cool temperate rainforest on a boardwalk along the edges of Pencil Pine Creek. This is a short walk on a mostly flat track, being suitable for all ages and fitness levels. On the way back, you can stop for a hearty meal at Peppers Lodge.

Walk
45 min to 1 h
Starting from the Julius River Forest Reserve car park off Sumac Road, Trowutta, this walk takes you on a circuit along the Rainforest Walk and the Sinkhole Walk. Julius River is a beautiful reserve set in sinkhole country, home to two short and easy loop walks, with some of the best amenities found along Tarkine Drive. Both walks start from the picnic area, which has toilets, barbecues and tables, making it a great place to stop for a break. The shorter Rainforest Walk follows a decked boardwalk through temperate rainforest alongside the river, accompanied by the sounds of birds and babbling brooks, passing two viewing platforms and crossing a bridge along the way. The Sinkhole Walk meanders through the lush mossy rainforest with an abundance of fungi, myrtles, leatherwoods, sassafras and ferns, passing a limestone sinkhole before looping back to the car park. Camping is permitted here, with plenty of space for tents, and the RV campground is located 600 metres up the road, with space for campervans, caravans or motorhomes. 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.

Walk
1 h to 1 h 30 min
Starting from the Milkshake Hills car park at the end of the gravel side road off Milkshake Road, Milkshake Hills Regional Reserve, this walk takes you on a circuit along the Forest Walk and Lookout Walk. The reserve is found along Tarkine Drive and is home to two excellent walking trails, both starting in a lovely picnic area nestled in the rainforest, with electric BBQs, toilets, a shelter and a large car park. The shorter Forest Walk loops through the temperate rainforest that is recovering from a bushfire, following a combination of gravel trail and boardwalk. Branching off from the Forest Walk, the Lookout Walk traverses a short section of rainforest before coming to an opening and getting up a hill, following a gravel trail through buttongrass. While not overly steep, it's a steady incline to the top, but the trail is well-constructed and flat underfoot. On a clear day, the lookout offers panoramic views of the surrounding plains and mountain ranges, the Tarkine rainforest and the Milkshake Hills. 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.

Walk

Starting from a carpark just off the Lyell Highway in the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park, this walk leads to the Donaghys Hill lookout and back via the Donaghys Hill Nature Trail. The track climbs steadily through forest and scrub to a high lookout perched on the rocky Donaghys Hill. From the summit of the pointy hill the views extend in all directions, with the valley of the Franklin River filling the foreground and the impressive Frenchmans Cap and its neighbouring peaks looming beyond. The walk isn't especially steep or tricky, but it is a solid twenty minutes of uphill effort. Weather is the important factor - on a grey cloudy day you might see nothing, but in clear weather the views are stunning and justify the uphill climb. The walk back to the carpark is refreshingly downhill all the way. 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.

Starting from the car park at the end of Williamsford Road, Rosebery, this walk leads to Montezuma Falls via the Montezuma Falls Walking Track. To come to the falls you’ll walk along a historic tramway route. Montezuma Falls is the highest single-drop waterfall in Tasmania, with a drop of approximately 104 metres. The track winds its way through a scenic rainforest, passing many points of interest highlighting the mining history of the area. The track starts with a flat surface and gentle gradient, reaching a slightly rough and uphill section on the last 500 metres. Once at the falls, a swing bridge crossing the gorge below provides excellent views of the impressive Montezuma Falls. Return to the car park following the same route. Facilities at nearby Rosebery include picnic facilities, shops and toilets.

Starting from the Frenchmans Cap Carpark on the Lyell Highway, Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park, this walk leads to the summit of Frenchmans Cap and back via the Frenchmans Cap Track. This strenuous hike takes you to one of the most remarkable mountain peaks in South-West Tasmania. From the top, the view is nothing short of incredible, with Tasmania’s rugged Wilderness World Heritage Area stretching as far as you can see. The journey to the summit includes a wonderfully varied mix of landscapes – golden-hued button grass moorlands, fragrant Eucalypt forests, moss-strewn rainforests, and the resilient wonders of the alpine flora. There are two huts, Lake Vera Hut and Lake Tahune Hut, along the track as well as several designated campsites. Climbing the summit requires some rock scrambling, and this final ascent should only be attempted if the weather is clear enough. The weather at Frenchmans Cap is highly unpredictable, and the trail will be wet, muddy and demandingly steep at times. 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.
