Montezuma Falls
One of Tasmania's tallest waterfalls, with a drop of about 104 metres, reached by walking through rainforest along an old mining railway bed. A suspension bridge stands in front of the falls.
The falls lie near the small town of Rosebery. The trail starts at Williamsford and follows the bed of the old North East Dundas tramway through dense temperate rainforest. The round trip is about 11 km and takes 3 hours, with a gentle grade. A steel-cable suspension bridge spans the gorge, giving a head-on view of the water pouring down, but only one person may cross the bridge at a time. The water is at its greatest after rain, and the trail is also at its muddiest then. The walk is free, and the trailhead is about an hour's drive from Cradle Mountain.
