Sometimes I look back at this excursion and can't believe that we actually succeeded in seeing the falls.

Needless to say, getting to Adamsons Falls was very difficult. First, we had to drive to the trailhead (see directions below). Once at the car park, we then had to hike 4-5 hours (according to my GPS track log, it was 3.4km each way) on a track that was very muddy, leech infested, slippery, and very overgrown. In fact this waterfall was so overgrown that the linking track to Creekton Falls was just about completely overgrown (making it very difficult to follow to all but the most hardy bushwhackers, which we were not) so we didn't even think about trying to extend this excursion.

Despite it seeming like Mother Nature was on the verge of reclaiming this track, we were quite appreciative of the degree of trail maintenance that went on considering the circumstancees. For example, there were wooden stepping blocks in the muddiest spots, footholds in the steepest sections, and colored ribbons acting as trail markers for detours around fallen trees or where parts of the track were ill-defined. In fact, I reckon following those strategically placed colored ribbons was the most important aspect of staying on this track. Without them, I'm quite sure we wouldn't have been able to navigate through this rough track.

The track ended (as far as we were concerned) right in between the two main tiers of Adamsons Falls. Even getting to this spot wasn't easy as we would always hear the falls but not be able to see it as we were scrambling on a steep overgrown hillside still trying to follow those ribbons. Even though my camera had a little bit of a wide angle lens, as you can see from the photo above, you'll need a real wide angle in order to even bring in the top of the falls.

Directions: From Hobart, take the A6 south to the Huon Hwy, then follow the Huon Hwy all the way to Hastings Cave Rd (passing Huonville and Geeveston en route). It's about 100km from Hobart to the Hastings Cave Rd turnoff.

Once on the Hastings Cave Rd, follow it for about 11km until reaching the spur on Chesterman Rd, where you follow a rough, narrow logging road riddled with downed trees and potholes. Eventually, Chesterman Rd joins with Coal Hill Rd, where you turn left and follow that shortly to the obscure (but signposted) car park for Adamsons Falls.
