Nelson Falls
Nelson Falls is a stunning waterfall in the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park, approximately 30 kilometres from Queenstown.

The walk to Nelson Falls is 1.4 kilometres return. The flat track meanders beside the Nelson River through a pristine forest with moss-covered myrtle and sassafras trees.

Nelson Falls can be viewed from the viewing platform. The water cascades 30 metres down the tiered black rocks into the Nelson River below.

Western Wilderness
The best way to see the Western Wilderness is on a Steam Train tour departing from Queenstown.

This heritage steam train takes you through remote rainforests, and the guides provide informative commentary about the pioneers who created the railway tracks.

Gordon River
Take a cruise from Strahan and enjoy breathtaking scenery in the pristine, World Heritage-listed wilderness of the Gordon River.

See the beautiful reflections of the temperate rainforest surrounding you in the mirror still waters of the Gordon River.

On the cruise, you also explore Sarah Island, once a notorious penal colony but now an interesting place to learn about convict life and explore this beautiful remote island.

Corinna
Corinna, in the Northwest of Tasmania, was once a historic mining town.

Now, it’s a wonderful wilderness retreat surrounded by pristine rainforest on the banks of the beautiful Pieman River.

You can kayak or take a boat ride on the Pieman River to the beautiful Lovers Falls, which is located deep in the unspoilt forest.

Montezuma Falls
Montezuma Falls is Tasmania's largest single-drop waterfall, with water falling 104 metres to the rocks below. It is located near Rosebery in the Northwest of Tasmania, an area rich in railway and mining history.

The walk to Montezuma Falls is 8 kilometres return. The track was once part of the North East Dundas Tramway, and you can see remnants of the old railway along the way.

When you reach the viewing platform at the base of Montezuma Falls, you can admire this stunning remote waterfall.
