Mathinna Falls
I've seen reports that the falls consists of four 17m drops or that it's 80m tall. However, when we walked the 30-minute return track from the car park and picnic area, we only saw the main drop (perhaps 25-30m) so I reckon the rest of it must be hidden. I don't think we were aware of the other falls at the time so we didn't try to do any additional exploring. Either way, it was very worthwhile.
To break up the long drive from Hobart to Tasmania's northeast forests, we made a stop at the Bicheno Blowhole about 178km north of Hobart along the Tasman Hwy. TRIP REPORTSGUIDEBOOKS / OTHER RESOURCESNEARBY WATERFALLSHave You Been To This Waterfall?
