Liffey Falls Tasmania - the spout

Liffey River Cascades

Liffey Falls is one of Tassie’s best waterfalls, not just because the falls themselves are great, but the Liffey River cascades through some wonderful forest with multiple locations to shoot during the short walk of around 20-25 minutes each way. The first viewing decks are found around 10 minutes down the track and funnily enough...Read More
Rainforest along Gold Creek, Styx Valley

Gold Creek Falls – Styx Valley

Thanks to the extremely handy Waterfalls of Tasmania website, I recently made my way to the relatively unknown Gold Creek Falls in the Styx Valley. The creek is covered in stunning green rainforest and the waterfall itself is quite large although hard to frame up in a “typical” kind of way due to the dense...Read More

Rinadena Falls

Rinadena Falls is a stunning waterfall in Tasmania’s Walls of Jerusalem National Park. I visited here many years ago, and after a rather tragic end to that trip –  dropping my camera in the river 🙁 – I had always planned to come back for a re-shoot and it has taken a global pandemic and...Read More

Upper Quaile Falls

My first visit to this fall, Upper Quaile Falls is a very picturesque cascade in the Cradle Mountain area. The fall is actually signposted from the main road to Cradle. You’ll need to be looking closely however as it is an unofficial sign – basically a wooden board nailed to a tree. You follow the...Read More

Harridge Falls

Harridge Falls is in north east Tasmania and starts from an unmarked location on the A3 highway near Weldborough. When we visited earlier this year the falls were basically in flood so there weren’t a great deal of options composition-wise. I certainly wasn’t going to step out into this torrent! It looks like a great...Read More

Mathinna Falls North East Tasmania

Mathinna Falls is a very easy walk, and a rewarding waterfall for photographers. Access is only a short drive from the town of Mathinna in Tasmania’s north east. The trail is mostly flat, and after a short walk you will find the first waterfall which includes rocky cascades below the falls and a nice deep...Read More

Fungi Season!

Autumn means fungi season! It looks like the hot dry summer might be slowly releasing its grip, and the forest can breathe a sigh of relief as the cooler weather kicks in. Autumn really is my favourite time of year to get out and explore (and photograph!) Tasmania. The fungi is a huge highlight as...Read More

Fungi – North East Tasmania

In the first of what will no doubt be many posts of Tasmanian fungi this autumn, here are a few shots taken in the forests of north east Tasmania last week. Needless to say, the macro lens is the way to go as is getting right down on your hands and knees… I cannot lay...Read More

St Columba Falls

St Columba falls is a very easy short walk in north east Tasmania just 30 minutes away from the seaside town of St Helens. Deep into dairy country, you will pass the Pyengana Dairy and it’s wonderful “Holy Cow Cafe” – well worth a stop after exploring the exquisite rainforest surrounding the waterfall. Visiting St...Read More
