Russell Falls : Side view . . .
This image is included in 4 galleries :- 1) "Beautiful Nature Shots, Vol. 6" curated by John Russell (Zoom Lens), 2) "land and water" by Sylvia Okkerse, 3) "WATER FEATURES" by Creamy Pet and 4) "Waterfalls and Cascades" by Radoslav Besenyi.
It is about 75 km from Hobart. A 6km Grade 3 Walk from the visitor centre of Mount Field National Park in Tasmania covers the three waterfalls: Russells Falls, Horseshoe Falls and Lady Barron Falls. The loop walk contains information and education boards at various intervals about the flora and fauna of the region. From the information centre to Russell Falls, glow worms can be seen at night.
The Russell Falls, a tiered–cascade waterfall, is downstream from Horseshoe Falls on Russell Falls Creek. Its total height is 34 - 58 metres with 2 drops. It has an excellent flow of water during the winter / spring months. These falls were originally known as Browning Falls after the original discoverer around 1856, but by 1884 it became known as Russell Falls. It is a flat 10 minute walk from the Information Centre and is one of few waterfalls that can be reached with a wheelchair. Other viewing platforms alongside the waterfall and above the waterfall can also be accessed for people who are able to negotiate staircases.
This is a close-up view from the left front.
