Liffey Falls

A multi-tiered waterfall in the rainforest of the Great Western Tiers, reached by a trail lined with ferns and moss that descends past cascades into the gorge.

Liffey Falls lies at the foot of the Great Western Tiers, about 70 km southwest of Launceston, and is part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. From the upper car park, the trail passes through tall eucalypts, tree ferns and moss-covered temperate rainforest, along a series of small cascades before reaching the main falls. The round trip takes about 45 minutes. Below, there is a picnic area and longer trails. Entry is free. After rain the paths are slippery, so wear non-slip shoes. The final stretch is a gravel track, and watch for ice in winter. It can be combined with the town of Deloraine.
