It is a matter of considerable argument among Tasmanians as to which is the prettiest waterfall in their State - Russell Falls or Liffey Falls?
Liffey Falls is nestled within cool temperate rainforest on the slopes of the Great Western Tiers. a pleasant 30min drive from Launceston. The area is framed by the dominant species of Tasmania's cool temperate rainforests - myrtle, sassafrass and leatherwood. These slow growth forests are a perfect and tranquil getaway. The falls are understandably a popular spot among both Tasmanians and visitors alike. A magical walk leads through the rainforest, down through forests of towering eucalypts and tree ferns to the falls. A number of smaller falls are passed along the way.
The Liffey Falls State Reserve was included within the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area in 1989, a tribute to the globally significant value of the region. The area reveals a rich human heritage and insights into the forces which shaped the landscape over the past 250 million years. There is still evidence of the timber logging that occurred here. When you take the time to stop and admire the forest, you start to notice very large tree stumps with footsteps cut into the side of them, the footholds where cut by the axe men to allow them to gain a suitable position up the base of the trunk to chop the tree down.
This image is a very large panoramic image, consisting of 8 individual 36mp photos. The resulting image is huge and amazingly detailed.
This image would be equally at home situated in a residential house or a corporate boardroom or a feature artwork in a large lobby.
