Strickland Falls

Strickland Falls is a small waterfall on the Hobart Rivulet, situated just off Strickland Avenue in South Hobart, roughly a ten-minute drive from the city centre.

Standing no more than 4 metres high, the falls are accompanied by a few smaller cascades upstream, and the rivulet here flows northeast off the slopes of kunanyi / Mount Wellington before continuing through South Hobart toward the River Derwent.

Despite its modest size, Strickland Falls is regarded as one of southern Tasmania's most photogenic waterfalls, set within lush forest and included in a heritage audit as an intact natural feature of scenic beauty.

The falls also carry historical significance, with a long association with the production of Cascade Beer. The access track is short but can be slippery and difficult to negotiate in muddy conditions, so some care is warranted on the approach.
