Summary

Shady forest, towering tree ferns and lush moss make this short, mostly flat walk to a small waterfall well worthwhile. The first part of the route along the Pipeline Track to the Fern Tree Bower is ideal for bikes (and even pushers!)

Getting There

Take a bus or drive a car to the suburb of Fern Tree in Hobart to the start of the track.
