Meander Falls

August 18, 2025

Meander Falls is simply a great day out. Listed by Tasmanian National Parks as one of the state’s 60 Great Short Walks it certainly is great although at 5-6 hours return it isn’t strictly a “short” walk. The hike follows the Meander River through beautiful mossy myrtle rainforest. The Meander River itself is cascades and...Read More

Gold Creek Revisited

September 26, 2023

Gold Creek falls is a real hidden gem of the Styx Valley. It’s a shame access is quite messy as it could be a big part of a grander plan for attracting big tree tourists to the area. On my previous visit I found my way to the base of the main fall. This time...Read More

Warra Falls

June 29, 2023

Warra Falls is a great little series of cascades on Warra Creek, which is a small tributary of the Arthur River in the Tarkine. It is only accessible by joining the wonderful half day Arthur River Cruise, and is one of the highlights of my Tarkine Photography Workshops. Warra Falls is a short 10-15 minute...Read More

Waterfall Bay

February 9, 2023

Waterfall Bay in all its glory! Spring 2022 was quite cool and wet across Tasmania and I made the most of the conditions to shoot out to Waterfall Bay on the Tasman Peninsula to see this seasonal waterfall at its best. It is seasonal in that it only flows after heavy rain, and can be...Read More

Tasmanian Short Walks: Snug Falls

July 13, 2022

Waterfalls look their best in winter! Snug Falls is a really great Tasmanian short walk, being a fairly easy 20 minute walk to a very rewarding waterfall. The falls are quitre high, and a great sight with lots of water on them. I have visited these falls multiple times and this time my eye was...Read More

Rainforest along Gold Creek, Styx Valley

Gold Creek Falls – Styx Valley

November 23, 2020

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

September 17, 2020

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

Regnans Falls in Tasmania's Styx Valley of the giants

Regnans Falls, Styx Valley

September 3, 2020

Regnans Falls in the Styx Valley has been on my radar for a long while now, and I finally made the time to go find it last weekend. It is right beside the Big Tree reserve/walk, around 200 metres past the main visitor area. If you look closely on the right hand side of the...Read More

Upper Quaile Falls

July 14, 2020

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

Marriotts Falls

March 30, 2019

I first visited Marriotts Falls a very long time ago – perhaps 10 years or longer – and was quite captivated by the spot. Myrtles, sassafras and tree ferns framed the graceful waterfall very nicely, but I didn’t feel I had a “great” shot of it yet. I have been back a couple of times,...Read More

Chasm Falls

March 13, 2019

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
