Sunday Selections – Russell Falls
Posted On 8 January 2012
A post for Frogpondsrock’s Sunday Selections, where you get to post some of your unseen photos and look at everyone else’s pictures.
Earlier this week, Slabs, Juniordwarf and I went to Russell Falls, which is located in the Mt Field National Park.
I’ll admit that, although I’m a Tassie girl, I’ve never been there until now, so it’s been a long time coming.
It is a beautiful place, and I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to finally get there. I’m glad we went, and it definitely won’t be our last visit.

Wow, that creek looks totally unreal. I want to go there!
I know, those trees are just awesome 🙂
I love the forests in Tassie. Such large trees… and the mosses! We went to a few on our honeymoon 15 years ago.
@frogpondsrock – I can't believe I'd never been there before. Especially after having lived just down the road for 6 years. Another thing to blame on being a busy working mummy ;)@Marita – yes it does have that ancient feeling about it. The colours are amazing too.@the Elephants Child – it's stunning. So glad we went.@River & @Carolina – yes he did well. The first two he cut off our heads but this one was pretty good!@amanda – JD is five too & he did pretty well with the walk. It's a 20 minute round trip but we just wandered and stopped to look at stuff so it took longer. I don't know if I'd want to take him much further though!@Jay – some of those ferns were just huge! Amazing!
That looks like a magical place – no wonder you want to go back! I love the tree ferns.
Oh, it looks so lovely, thanks for sharing 🙂 I would love to visit there, but i can already hear mis 5 whingeing about having to walk 🙁 Hoping she will grow out of it eventually!
Junior Dwarf is a budding photographer. Nice shot. What a gorgeous place. Somehow reminded me of Indiana Jones. Perhaps it's the hat 😉
What a beautiful place! I love the ferns and mossy trunks. That's a nice photo of you and Slabs too, well done Juniordwarf.
What an amazing place. I am in love. Thank you (and juniordwarf) for sharing these with us.
They are amazing, the environment looks primal, I'd be expecting to see dinosaurs pop out.
Lovely photos. I haven't been there for ages. The last time was in 2007 I took my 13 year old South Australian nephew there and he was amazed, He said it was just like Jurassic park :)I must go back again.
