Snug Falls is an impressive 25-30m waterfall near the township of Snug.
This was our first Tasmanian waterfall of our November 2006 trip, and at the time, we had no reference as to what its normal flow was. It was only after some hindsight and comparisons with other photos out in the literature that we saw this guy in a somewhat below average flow condition. Still, it was tall and pretty, and it was a quite a way to kick off our waterfalling in the state (see someone else's experience with the falls here).
It looked like the falls had a slanting upper tier in addition to its main drop. However, it was hard to photo.
We took a walking track that took us about an hour return from the parking bay just off an unsealed access road. The track was all downhill on the way to the falls, but all uphill on the way back (i.e. an upside down hike). The footing was a little rocky and uneven, which was something we had to watch out for especially on the downhill section, because it was quite easy to twist or sprain an ankle.
Directions: From Hobart, we took the Channel Hwy south towards the town of Snug roughly 25km. As we got close to Snug, we turned right onto the Snug Tiers Rd and drove about 4km (it eventually becomes the unsealed Snug Falls Rd). Eventually, we found a signed car park that was about 150m from the actual trailhead, which we had to walk.
