We travel on to Mt. Field National Park to view Tasmania’s best known waterfalls, Russell Falls.

Then it’s on to Tarraleah - the massive Power Station and our wilderness journey to Derwent Bridge in Tasmania’s Central Highlands. Here we see The Wall in the Wilderness.

After this unique experience it is on to the township of Queenstown, a town that is literally carved out of the mountains.

Silver Hills Motel is our accommodation for 2 nights with dinner and breakfast.
