What to expect
Your day begins with a scenic drive to Mt. Field. You'll tackle a series of well-maintained walking trails ranging from short strolls to moderate hikes, moving through dense rainforest where the air stays cool and damp year-round. Expect to reach Russel Falls within the first few hours—a straight drop into a deep pool, best viewed from the base. The afternoon shifts to the wildlife sanctuary, where you'll encounter Tasmanian devils, wombats, quokkas, and other endemic species in semi-natural enclosures. Lunch happens mid-day (bring your own or book ahead for the Agrarian Kitchen's seasonal menu). Total walking distance is typically 8–10 km spread across the day.
Good to know
Wear sturdy walking shoes and layers—weather changes fast in the highlands. The Agrarian Kitchen operates weekends only; confirm ahead if you want restaurant lunch. Prams and infant seats are available. Allow extra time if you're hiking with young children. Bring a camera for wildlife.
