Located on the foot of the majestic Mount Wellington, Hobart is the capital city of Tasmania. Situated at the very south tip of the magnificent Australia, Hobart is said to be the smallest city of the nation. The waterfront houses that line Salamanca Place which dates back to the whaling industry of Tasmania in 1803s are charming beyond words.

Just out of the city one of the most popular attractions is Mount Field National Park. Within the park is said to be the most photographed waterfall Russell Falls. A three tiered waterfall lovingly hugged by lush vegetation as it cascades down is a breathtaking sight to see.
There are many ways to explore this national park in Hobart. Depending on your skill and endurance, one has the option of choosing between long, medium and short treks. For those that find themselves drawn to nature and would love nothing better than to experience an authentic bushwalk in Australia, should book themselves a guided tour with the park rangers.
Fortunately the Russell Falls is close to the visitor center, so one would not have to walk a great distance. However, the longer trek of 10 miles along a gravel road will take you through century old trees to the picturesque Lake Dobson.
