Silver Falls
Silver Falls
Silver Falls tumbles along Browns River at Fern Tree Bower on the slopes of kunanyi / Mount Wellington, Tasmania.
The falls have a long history of human use — the watercourse was dammed in 1861 as part of Hobart's water supply, and by 1878 the site had become a popular tourist destination, described at the time as "the very paradise of ferns" and "one of the most romantic dells of the mountain side."
Today Silver Falls is one of only five waterfalls marked on the Hodgman mountain park walk map and ranks among the most photographed waterfalls on the mountain. It is reached via a 4 km return trail graded suitable for all abilities, taking roughly 1.
5 hours to complete.
