Mt Field and Bonorong Circuit
Russell Falls in Mount Field National Park is one of the most accessible and most photographed waterfalls in Tasmania. Spot glow worms as you stroll through temperate rainforest, past mossy glens and under giant man ferns. This tiered waterfall will take your breath away. We travel through the picturesque Derwent Valley to Mt Field and stop at The Salmon Ponds where you can feed salmon and learn the history of trout fishing in Tasmania.
Tasmania is a natural haven for Australian wildlife and we have species that don’t exist anywhere else in the world. Get up close and personal with the notorious Tasmanian Devil, cute wombats, fluffy quolls, possums, wallabies and a large variety of birdlife at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary. Then we step back in time in the pretty historic village of Richmond. See the oldest convict constructed sandstone bridge, browse through antique shops, and call in to the oldest Catholic Church in Australia. Oh, and there’s an old-school lolly shop for those with a sweet tooth.
