On a recent holiday in Tasmania,
we visited the Liffey Falls. They are located in central Tasmania, approximately 10km
north of the Great Lake.
The road to Liffey Falls is very narrow, with plenty of corners
(and a small wooden bridge),
so you need to take your time while driving. The road to the top carpark is signposted as being
suitable for short-wheelbase vehicles only, so buses and caravans need to take an alternative
route to the lower carpark (which has less facilities, and requires a longer walk to the falls).
However, the slow drive means you can enjoy the wonderful green scenery of the temperate rainforest.
Once at the Liffey Falls carpark, the actual falls themselves are still a 25 minute walk away. It's a pleasant walk through the rainforest, and you pass by a number of smaller cascades on the way to the main falls.
The photo below shows the main falls. To get this view, I had to cross the river, and had one leg of my tripod resting in the water.
