Waterfall Bay to Camp Falls bushwalk.
Walking in the Tasman National Park can be an absolute delight and this walk is no exception
.You can combine this walk with the
Devils
Kitchen to Waterfall Bay walk or the
Tasman
Trail which goes all the way to Fortescue
Bay, or drive to Waterfall Bay to start. There is a steep
section near the start of the track so walkers should be
reasonably fit or willing to take it slowly. Children should
be closely supervised due to the unfenced cliffs in the area.
The walk takes you through Stringybark forest with an understory of Musk,
Dogwood, Bedfordia and Native Cherry (you can eat the fruits). There
are also clumps of aptly named Cutting Grass so watch out, the silica
crystals along the edges of the leaves will slice skin with ease.
Waterfall Creek is the source of the huge cascade at Waterfall Bay.
When you cross it upstream, you will find a sheltered area which
is great for a picnic, and a series of further cascades. These include
Camp Falls and Shower Falls, where you can climb into a cave behind
the curtain of water.This Tasman National Park walk has everything Manferns streams ,waterfalls
and exhilarating clif top views.
From the Camp Falls picnic area
the track diverges. One route continues along the coast to Waterfall
Bluff (sensational views south) Towards the totem pole and candlestick
and Cape Hauy,The view from the cliffs edge at waterfall bluff is mind
blowing as the photograph shows. While another track climbs to Clemes
Peak and/or Tatnells Hill. It continues all the way to Fortescue Bay
and is known as the Tasman Coastal Trail into the heart of the Tasman
National Park.
