Accessible via the easy 2-kilometre Myrtle Gully Track that begins behind the historic Cascade Brewery, this lovely waterfall rewards visitors with moss-covered rocks, fern-lined paths and the soothing sound of water tumbling over its tiers — a peaceful escape into nature that feels worlds away from urban life yet sits right on Hobart’s doorstep.
