Starting from the Mount Field Visitor Centre on Lake Dobson Road, Mount Field National Park, this circuit walk takes you past Russell Falls, Horseshoe Falls and Lady Barron Falls. The first part of the track toward Russell Falls is wheelchair and pram accessible. From here, the track becomes steeper, taking you to Horseshoe Falls. Stop to admire the giant trees as you walk along the Tall Trees Walk before coming to the last falls on the walk, the Lady Barron Falls. Take your time on the track and soak in the nature around you. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
