The Florentine Valley

Mt Field National Park

Follow the directions for the Styx Valley past Maydena and then take the left fork to the Florentine Valley.  Ten kilometres from the fork is a forest reserve of tall Stringy Bark Gum trees.  The trees are virtually as tall as those in the Styx Valley big trees reserve.  The walk here is more interesting than the Styx as it includes examples of myrtle, sassafras, leatherwood and horizontal scrub.
