Russell Falls
 Russell Falls is easiliy the best known and most popular waterfall in Tasmania. Comprised of two impressive rectangular walls of water, it's no wonder why it's the centerpiece of Mt Field National Park, which also happens to be the state's first national park. It is also part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. So given all its accolades, don't be surprised to see plenty of people sharing the well-developed tracks and overlooks with you. The walking track continues to ascend past the top of the waterfall towards a smaller waterfall but in a more serene setting. This waterfall is called Horseshoe Falls. I reckon it's well worth the extra half hour or so return walk to check it out. If you have the time and energy (and the track isn't closed like it was for us), you can continue the walk towards the Tall Trees area and beyond the unsealed Lake Dobson Road towards the Lady Barron Falls. There are plenty of options when it comes to spending time in this area.
