Fog lifts off the broad fern gullies as the shuttle eases into Mount Field National Park, eucalyptus trunks slicing sunlight into ribbons across the road. Visitors step out and meet cool, moss-slimed air, the hush punctuated by falling water: Russell Falls announces itself in three tiers, its spray daring you closer while giant swamp gums loom overhead — some of the tallest trees in the southern hemisphere.

Visitors step out and meet cool, moss-slimed air, the hush punctuated by falling water: Russell Falls announces itself in three tiers, its spray daring you closer while giant swamp gums loom overhead — some of the tallest trees in the southern hemisphere.
Mount Field is one of Tasmania’s oldest protected areas, shaped by glaciation that carved valleys and left polished rock and cirque basins visible on higher slopes. The park sits on land of the Palawa people; their connection to the rivers and forest predates European discovery. On the return the tour stops at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, a conservation-focused refuge where close-up encounters (and rescue stories) bring context to the island’s unique fauna.
Practicalities: this private, eight-hour charter from Hobart covers round-trip transfer, National Park admission and Bonorong entry, with short walks on maintained paths and boardwalks to viewing platforms. Trails to Russell Falls are well graded but can be wet and slippery; sturdy footwear and a light rain shell are advisable. Expect varied temperatures — cool in the forest, warmer on open road — and plan for a calm pace with photo stops.
Timing tip: morning departures maximize light and wildlife chance. Respect closed areas and follow sanctuary guidance at Bonorong to keep both animals and visitors safe.
