Itinerary

Stop At: Mount Field National Park, 66 Lake Dobson Rd, National Park TAS 7140, Australia
Mt Field National Park and alpine areas - you'll explore the iconic/main attractions but there's much more to be seen and photographed too.
Unfurling fronds of tree-ferns, vibrant fungi and impressive lichens will inspire photographic creativity. An echidna may saunter nearby, a pademelon (wallaby) may be hiding in the forest undergrowth, an elusive platypus may appear in the stream. The enchanting Horseshoe Falls lures our guests to pause, and the towering eucalyptus trees will astonish.
The area around Lake Dobson is characterised by several Tasmanian endemic conifers including the Pencil Pine and King Billy Pine. There’s a diversity of flora and an abundance of birds and native wildlife too. Just as in the rainforest, this sub-alpine habitat reveals many a nature photo opportunity.
