Tassie Walks - We've done many walks around our home state of Tasmania. Walks range from a few hours to multiple days. This section has posts with both long and short walks around Tasmania.
Waratah is a small town in North West Tasmania. The town was built to support a tin mine at nearby Mt Bischoff. It was constructed on top of a waterfall so that the diverted water could be used for mining operations. On my recent first-time visit to Waratah, I was keen to see the town waterfall. While there we took the opportunity to visit two other waterfalls in the area and a couple of other sites of interest.

It is currently unprotected. There are ongoing efforts by many people to have this remedied to protect the area for future generations.

We also like to go to places that many older travellers avoid in order to show that, with a little planning and care, you can visit almost anywhere in the world.
