gold creek falls styx valley tasmania

Gold Creek Revisited

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 on the Arthur River Cruise in Tasmania's Tarkine

Warra Falls

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

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

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

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
Regnans Falls in Tasmania's Styx Valley of the giants

Regnans Falls, Styx Valley

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

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

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 tasmania

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

Myrtle Forest Falls near Collinsvale

Myrtle Forest Falls is near Collinsvale, around 30 mins from Hobart. It is a fall I have been meaning to get to for quite a long time, and took the opportunity a few weeks ago as there had been plenty of rain and it was a nice overcast day – great for visiting waterfalls 🙂...Read More
