Lilydale Falls. Just a short drive north east of the town on the Scottsdale road.
Lilydale Falls - upper falls. Good spot for a picnic. Barbeque and rest rooms available.
Lower falls
There is a well constructed walkway to the lower falls. A 10 minute walk. Another 5 minutes to the upper falls on a good hiking track.
There is a good camping and picnic area at the start of the walks to the falls.
NEARBY TUNNEL
Disused train tunnel at the hamlet of Tunnel. Look for the Tunnel Road turn to the left just before Lebrina. About 5 kilometres beyond the falls.
The old Tunnel platform.
HOLLYBANK
About 5 kilometres from Lilydale towards Launceston is the Hollybank arboretum. A superb plantation of traditional English trees. Well worth the short 10 minute diversion. A popular place for the locals to spend the afternoon. There are short walks in the area. Also the home of Hollybank Wilderness Adventures.
