LOBSTER FALLS
The
Great Western Tiers
|
Between Deloraine and Mole
Creek the sign shown above is passed on the northern side of the
highway. The track commences a few kilometres before Chudleigh where the
Honey Farm Store is located. A very pleasant 45 minute to an hours walk
leads to Lobster Falls lower cascade. The track passes high above the
river for a few hundred metres just before the falls are reached. There
is a steep drop down to the river.
Children need to be
closely supervised.
There is a side track to
the upper cascade. Access is down a steep 'track' of very loose large
rocks. Care needs to be taken. A little further on there is a second
side track which leads to a ledge which overlooks the lower falls. The
upper falls can be seen a few hundred metres upstream. Although a
relatively easy walk it is a little steep in places. Small bridges
and steps have ben put in place to greatly improve the
track. The early part of the track passes through a fine Banksia Grove.
Another one of Tasmania's
great short walks.
