Mount Field National Park is a national park in
Tasmania, Australia, 64 km northwest of Hobart. The landscape ranges from
eucalyptus temperate rainforest to alpine moorland, rising to 1,434 metres at
the summit of Mount Field West.About 80 kilometers from Hobart, Mount Field is one of Australia's oldest
national parks, with magnificent rainforests, tall swamp gums, alpine moorland,
and stunning waterfalls. Beautiful walking trails wind throughout the park,
which is often dusted with snow in the high moorlands until summer. The short
Russell Falls Nature Walk to these triple-tiered cascades is suitable even for
wheelchair-users. You can also hike around Lake Dobson, and experienced
bushwalkers have a choice of more challenging routes.
