Mt Field National Park
Three Falls Circuit is one of Tasmania’s 60 Great Short Walks. This 6km circuit takes in not only Russell Falls, but also some of the other natural features of this section of the park. Most do the circuit anticlockwise, starting with the short walk to Russell Falls, then climbing to the beautiful Horseshoe Falls. The track continues through the Tall Trees walk​, taking in some magnificent specimens of swamp gums — the world's tallest flowering plant​. Next stop on this walk is Lady Barron Falls—a pretty little cascading waterfall which is particularly scenic after rain.​
