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.
