Mathinna Falls

Mathinna Falls is an impressive waterfall with satisfying volume and good height. 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.

Directions: From Hobart, we made the long drive north about 207km on the Tasman Hwy towards the Chain of Lagoons where there was a little shortcut leading to Gray Rd and eventually onto the Esk Hwy (in hindsight, the more official way was to continue another 22km beyond the Chain of Lagoons along the Tasman Hwy and then going west on the Esk Hwy).

Bicheno Blowhole Anyways, once we were on the Esk Hwy (where Gray Rd joined it), we went west (left) for another 20km to Mathinna Rd (B43). Turning right onto Mathinna Rd, this mostly sealed road leading north from the township of Mathinna went for about 35km to the car park for the falls (at 20km from Mathinna, stay left at the fork to remain on Mathinna Rd; the path on the right was what we took to get to Evercreech Falls).

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.

A World Away
I was looking for waterfalls, unashamedly searching the internet for them. Thus it was that I came across Mathinna , situated in an area I'd never been ...

The AGONY And The ECSTACY Not rated yet
It bode ill.

"I can't remember the last time it rained," the man in Devonport had said.

And there I was looking forward to photographing waterfalls....
