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

Bastion Cascades

The Bastion Cascades are just one of many hikes in the Meander area and we went to check them out a week or two ago. The weather turned out to be way sunnier than I was expecting which made shooting the waterfall tricky but it was still a great reccie for another visit in the...Read More

Chasm Falls

Chasm Falls is a delightful small fall on the edge of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, accessed through the small town of Meander. The falls are accessed from the very end of Smoko Road, where you need to cross the Mother Cummings Rivulet on foot, which could be a significant challenge, if not impossible,...Read More

Liffey Falls open – for now

The Liffey Falls track is again open to visitors! During June 2016, over 400mm of rain fell on the Great Western Tiers and Central Plateau causing major floods throughout northern Tasmania. Major towns like Deloraine, Devonport and Launceston all felt the force of these floods, and there was of course major damage to infrastructure and...Read More

The Marakoopa Cave, along with the nearby King Solomon Cave, is one of the main public access caves in the Mole Creek Karst National Park. The caves have formed in the limestone bedrock over millions of years and are intricately lit up and access is only available on a guided tour arranged at the nearby...Read More

Liffey Falls Tasmania

Of all the waterfalls to photograph in Tasmania, Liffey Falls is without a doubt one of the most rewarding. The trail begins in a large parking and picnic area, and passes through some beautiful tall ferns, myrtles and sassafras before joining the Liffey River. There are many cascades to stop at on the way down...Read More

Liffey River Tasmania

The Liffey River is most well known for the magnificent Liffey Falls which entice many visitors all year round. The rainforest surrounding the falls, and further upstream is exquisite, and deserves it’s own special mention. As with most areas of Tasmanian rainforest, the myrtle beech is the dominant tree, with a host of understorey trees...Read More

Great Western Tiers: Mother Cummings Rivulet

A walk I have been meaning to do for a very long time is Mother Cummings rivulet, and I finally made it up there last week. Mother Cummings Rivulet is accessed through the town of Meander. The road is quite rough and ends at the rivulet itself, where you need to wade across the river....Read More

Great Tasmanian Rainforest Walks – Westmoreland Falls

One of the most rewarding rainforest and waterfall walks I have taken in Tasmania was the short(ish) 2-3 hour return walk to Westmoreland Falls just south of Mole Creek in northern Tasmania’s Great Western Tiers. The track winds firstly through tallish forest before reaching a creek where things turn a little more “Jurassic Park” with...Read More

Photographing Waterfalls in Tasmania: Liffey Falls

One of the most beautiful waterfalls in Tasmania to photograph would have to be Liffey falls which is nestled deep within the rugged peaks, cliffs and rainforest of the Great Western Tiers in northern Tasmania. Located around 30 minutes from Deloraine, the falls are great to visit at any time of the year with the...Read More

Liffey Falls, Great Western Tiers

Water has to be my favourite subject to shoot. For a dynamic moving image, nothing is better than fast flowing creeks and waterfalls, and the added plus to Liffey Falls is the number of cascades. The main fall itself has a couple of tiers with numerous rocky ledges, dispersing the falling water into dozens of smaller cascades. The...Read More
