Russell Falls is a 70min drive (73km) north-west of Hobart, in Mount Field National Park.
Tasmania’s most photographed waterfall is the centrepiece at Mount Field National Park. The two tier Russell Falls tumble into a pool surrounded by tall ferns, and are easily reached along a sealed trail (25min return, 1.4km) from the park visitor centre. Want bonus waterfalls? Head up the steps beside the falls to find Horseshoe Falls and then head across the slopes to Lady Barron Falls on the Three Falls Circuit, one of Tasmania’s 60 Great Short Walks
