The full Three Falls Circuit at Mount Field National Park - a 6km loop taking in Russell Falls, Horseshoe Falls,…
Among the tallest flowering plants on Earth. Tucked partway around the Three Falls Circuit, the Tall Trees Walk loops through a grove of towering swamp gums (Eucalyptus regnans) — the tallest flowering plants in the world. Some specimens here exceed 79 metres, and the walk includes a clinometer so visitors can measure the height of these giants for themselves.
It’s a short, easy detour that adds real perspective to a visit to Mount Field’s famous lower rainforest walks.
Accessed via Lake Dobson Road or as part of the longer Lady Barron Falls Track, the Tall Trees Walk is a well-formed loop through dense forest, with gentle grades and interpretive signage throughout.
Rated Easy, the Tall Trees Walk is suitable for visitors of all ages and fitness levels, with only gentle undulation along the loop.
Some of the tallest flowering plants on Earth grow here, with the tallest specimens reaching approximately 79 metres — taller than Hobart’s Wrest Point Casino.
A hands-on tool beside the track lets visitors calculate tree heights themselves using simple angle measurements — a fun and educational feature for families.
Several enormous fallen trees beside the track provide a remarkable sense of scale that can be difficult to appreciate while the trees are still standing.
Yes. This is an excellent, easy family walk, with the interactive clinometer adding genuine appeal for children. The enormous trees and fallen logs also provide plenty to explore and discuss along the way.
Mount Field National Park is approximately 75 kilometres north-west of Hobart, with the drive generally taking around 70–90 minutes.
The Tall Trees Walk can be reached via Lake Dobson Road or incorporated into a longer walk from the Mount Field Visitor Centre. It is commonly completed as part of the Lady Barron Falls Track or the full Three Falls Circuit.
Toilets, picnic areas and a café are available at the Mount Field Visitor Centre. A campground is also located near the national park entrance.
For a short, easy walk that genuinely changes how you see a forest, the Tall Trees Walk delivers a memorable sense of scale and wonder in well under an hour. The towering swamp gums, fallen forest giants and interactive clinometer make it a highlight of any visit to Mount Field National Park.
