Access to Pelverata Falls is
near the township of Pelverata. The route is well signposted at
Pelvarata. From Hobart, take the Southern Outlet past Kingston. Turn
left at Sandfly and right immediately to Pelverata. The sign at the
start of the falls suggests 3 hours for the walk. I was able to do it
easily in a little over two return. There is no water available on the
walk. There is an excellent picnic shelter at Pelverata - free
electric BBQ. Check the water level in the river at Pelverata.
Being a small catchment the falls are often dry.
The track is steadily uphill
and easy most of the way. The last 10 minutes has some awkward rocks
to negotiate. Children must be supervised here.
Turn left just before the bridge to access the falls.
Pelverata Falls on the left.
The cascades shown on the right come in to view before the Pelverata Falls
which are only a few hundred metres to the left on another river.
After rain the cascades are visible from the Sandfly to Pelverata road at
Kaoota.
The image in the centre was taken from the falls looking down the
valley. The car park is just beyond the paddock in the centre of the
picture. |
