LOBSTER FALLS

The Great Western Tiers

 

 

 

Between Deloraine and Mole Creek the sign shown above is passed on the northern side of the highway. The track commences a few kilometres before Chudleigh where the Honey Farm Store is located. A very pleasant 45 minute to an hours walk leads to Lobster Falls lower cascade. The track passes high above the river for a few hundred metres just before the falls are reached. There is a steep drop down to the river. Children need to be closely supervised. There is a side track to the upper cascade. Access is down a steep 'track' of very loose large rocks. Care needs to be taken. A little further on there is a second side track which leads to a ledge which overlooks the lower falls. The upper falls can be seen a few hundred metres upstream.  Although a relatively  easy walk it is a little steep in places. Small bridges and steps  have ben put in place to greatly  improve the track. The early part of the track passes through a fine Banksia Grove.

 

Another one of Tasmania's great short walks.
