Nelson Falls
 Nelson Falls is a gorgeous wall of water tumbling some 30m in an upside down wine glass shape. Situated between Derwent Bridge and Queenstown, it's only a 20-minute return walk to experience this waterfall and provides a good stretch for the legs as you drive the Lyell Highway through the largely undeveloped Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park in the Tasmanian Wilderness. We were very pleasantly surprised to see this waterfall pumping the way it did. However, I did have to fight off the mist to take photos of the falls up close. There is another viewing deck further downstream for a more comprehensive view of the falls as shown below. Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
