The post 3 Stunning Waterfalls That You Shouldn’t Miss in Tasmania’s Mount Field National Park appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>Russell Falls
One of the most splendid waterfalls gracing the trails of Mount Field, Russell Falls is so iconic that it even made it to one of Australia’s first postage stamps. You’ll have to take a walk through the lush forest to witness this captivating tiered–cascade miracle in its full glory.
Lady Barron Falls
Lady Barron Falls is a part of Mount Field’s Loop Walk, and you’ll love the trail leading to it if you’re a huge hiking lover. With a height of approximately 8 meters, this waterfall is pretty small, but its glistening waters are still a sight to behold, especially if you get to see it shortly after rainfall.

Safely tucked away upstream from Russell Falls, this waterfall borrows its name from the cascade’s graceful horseshoe-shaped flow. The ferns and moss-covered rocks serve as a serene backdrop for this scenic waterfall, which is regarded as one of Mount Field’s most magnificent treasures.

]]>Penguin, Tasmania owes its quirky name to botanist Ronald Campbell Gunn, who found himself in this charming town in the 19th century when the first settlers arrived here. He was impressed by the little penguin rookeries scattered around its coast and decided to nickname this town after them.
Two centuries later, this Tasmanian town is still known as Penguin, and its 4,000 citizens fully embraced its quirky name. Penguin-themed attractions can be found all around this charming town, located on the north-west coast of Tasmania.
One of the town’s most notable attractions is a giant three-meter-high penguin statue located in its very heart. While roaming around this town, you’ll notice that penguins are painted pretty much everywhere else, from walls to rubbish bins.
In addition to countless penguin paintings and sculptures, you can also spot little penguins by the sea during nightly tours between September and March, due to Tasmania’s close proximity to Antarctica.

]]>Right Place, Right Time
Salamanca Market isn’t one of those attractions you can visit whenever you want to. Its doors are only open on Saturdays between 8.30 am and 3 pm, so plan your visit to Hobart accordingly if you want to check it out.
Take Your Time
It’s highly recommended to head to Salamanca Market early in the morning since it will take some time to explore it. Don’t rush things when you’re there because you’ll have the best experience while simply wandering through the stalls.
Cash is a Must
You should always bring some cash with you when shopping at foreign markets, including Salamanca. Some vendors will accept card payments, but that won’t be the case with all of them.
Foodies’ Paradise
Salamanca is a great place to shop for souvenirs and handmade local crafts, but the fun doesn’t end there. Your visit to this iconic venue will be incomplete if you don’t explore some of the delicious local foods it has in store.

]]>The name of this beautiful bay makes total sense once you see its striking orange lichen-cloaked boulders, but that’s not how this natural wonder got its name. Captain Tobias Furneaux actually named it the Bay of Fires in 1773, after noticing the fires of Aboriginal people on the beaches.
The orange hue of the bay’s rocks is produced by lichen, but they’re not the only reason why you should put the Bay of Fires on your bucket list. Most people come here to explore its white-sand beaches and crystal clear waters, and you can enjoy a long list of water sports and recreational activities during your visit.
The Bay of Fires is located about 280 km away from Tasmania’s capital of Hobart, and St Helens is the only major town in its close proximity. Its coastline covers 50 km from Binalong Bay in the south to Eddystone Point in the north. It’s a great destination for road trips because you’ll get to enjoy some of the most dramatic views of the Tasmanian coastline along the way.

]]>Amazing Collection
MONA is, first and foremost, a museum and its amazing exhibits deserve a moment of your time. Most of the art pieces, around 2,000 in total, are a part of David Walsh’s private collection. They’re displayed in a pretty unique way, with no labels, and in non-chronological order, but you can learn a lot about them thanks to the audio guide.
Architectural Gem
In addition to being home to an impressive art collection, MONA’s building is a work of art in its own right. This is one of the biggest architectural marvels in all of Tasmania and it’s equally impressive when you get inside thanks to its futuristic spiral staircases.
Wine and Dine
If you want to end your visit to MONA on a high note, visit one of the chic cafés and restaurants on its premises. The Source and Faro are two of the most popular options, but wine lovers should also give Moorilla Wine Bar a shot.
