Westmorland Falls Tasmania

Westmorland Falls Tasmania

Westmorland Falls is a stunning, hidden waterfall tucked away within Mole Creek Karst National Park in northern Tasmania, just a short drive from Deloraine. This unspoiled corner of Tasmania is renowned for its lush, cool temperate rainforest, ancient trees, and tranquil streams, making it a perfect destination for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful escape.

The main cascade of Westmorland Falls tumbles gracefully over tall cliffs, creating a spectacular curtain of water framed by moss-covered rocks and dense rainforest foliage. The area is also home to a series of smaller waterfalls and cascading streams, offering plenty of opportunities for exploration and photography. With its sense of seclusion and natural beauty, Westmorland Falls is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the quieter, pristine side of Tasmania’s waterfall landscapes.

Westmorland Falls Walking Track 3.5 km return - 2 Hours - Grade 3

The walking track heads southwest from the parking area and is undulating and steep in some sections; it can also be muddy after rain.

Wander through the unspoilt rainforest with tall eucalypts, beautiful ferns, mossy rocks and colourful fungi along the track. Approximately halfway along the track, you will see a plastic tub with a logbook, to which you can write a comment if you like.

Continue along the track, and you will come to a bridge over the river. At this stage, you are nearly at the falls. After another short uphill section of the track, you will reach the viewing area overlooking Westmorland Falls.

Stone steps descend to the base of the falls, and if you look carefully, you may see fossilised shells in the rock formations.
