Starting from the Lower Liffey Reserve Campground off Bogan Road, Liffey Falls State Reserve, this walk takes you to Liffey Falls. Enjoy a scenic walk through temperate rainforest to Liffey Falls, the major attraction of the reserve. Nestled in the forest beneath the Great Western Tiers, these multi-level falls cascade down several steps to create one of Tasmania's most picturesque waterfalls. The well-defined track follows an old logging tramway alongside the river, providing glimpses of Dry's Bluff through the trees. You'll cross a small bridge over Quinn Creek before reaching the falls, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim in the pools of cold water and admire the scenery from the viewing platform. Some sections of the trail can be muddy during winter months. The campground is suitable for campervans, buses, or caravans and has several grassy camp spots, a public toilet, picnic tables and barbecues. 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.
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
