"Queenstown Falls" "Queenstown Falls" (locals have informed me that it's actually called Horsetail Falls) is a name I made up to describe this impressive seasonal waterfall. The falls looked like it had a track leading from the pullout with the Iron Blow Open Cut sign towards the bottom of the waterfall, but we didn't take the time to do the walk. We were pretty happy with the roadside views that we got. I reckon this waterfall is seasonal because I've seen photos and descriptions in the literature saying this one is usually dry. It's said to only flow after heavy rains or during the rainy months of winter. We were lucky in that we had received a good deal of rain as we spent the night at Queenstown. So when we left the township the following morning and headed east into the Tasmanian Wilderness (despite the drier-than-normal conditions we were used to seeing around the rest of Tassie) you could imagine our surprise!
