Tamar Wine Route & Pipers Brook
Pipers Brook, part of the Tamar wine route is just a short drive away. While it is the largest producing area in Tasmania, it is also arguably the coolest major district.
St Columba Falls
The cascading waters of St Columba Falls plunge nearly 90 m from the Mt Victoria foothills to the valley of the South George River.
The falls can be viewed from the carpark and a short walking track provides easy access.
Ralph Falls
plummets down the fluted cliffs of Mt Victoria in the Mt Victoria Forest Reserve, south of the rural township of Ringarooma. As the longest single drop waterfall in Australia (cliff top to valley) it’s well worth the easy 20 minute return walk to ‘Norms Lookout’ at the top of the falls to see the single sliver of water plunge down the mountain.
Cuckoo Falls
near Scottsdale, is a spectacular sight and worthy reward for more hardy waterfall fanatic. Following an old highland cattle trail to the plains above, the steep two-hour return walk takes you through a variety of forest types.
