Liffey Falls Walk

Starting from the the upper carpark at the end of Riversdale Road, Liffey Falls State Reserve, this walk leads to Liffey Falls and back via the Liffey Falls Upper Track. Regarded as one of the most picturesque waterfalls in Tasmania, Liffey Falls are the major attraction of the Liffey Falls Reserve. These beautiful, multi-level falls are nestled in deep, mossy forest beneath the spectacular Great Western Tiers. Enjoy a refreshing swim in the crystal clear cold water of the pools, or just relax and admire the beauty of the falls. The falls are only a 45 minute return walk from the upper car park, on a well-marked track that follows the river closely as it goes through cool temperate rainforest, passing by a number of smaller cascades along the way. Picnic, barbecue, and toilet facilities can be found at the starting area. 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.

Safer Bushwalks
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
