About this tour

You'll visit Salmon Ponds, Australia's pioneering trout facility established in the 1800s, then explore the park's cool temperate rainforest and cascading Russell Falls. A local guide leads the 7-hour 15-minute circuit by coach, with morning tea included and hotel pickups arranged.

What to expect
After collection from your accommodation, you'll travel into cooler upland country. At Salmon Ponds, allow time to wander the grounds and learn how this 19th-century operation shaped Australian freshwater fishing. The drive continues to Mt Field, where you'll tackle a moderate forest walk to Russell Falls—expect wet moss, fern-covered banks, and the sound of water before you see it. The return leg stops for tea and takes in valley views. Wear layers and sturdy shoes; the rainforest stays cool and damp year-round.
Good to know
Moderate fitness required for the forest walk. Bring waterproof jacket and comfortable walking boots. Prams and strollers work on the main trails. Infants must sit on an adult's lap during coach travel. Gratuities not included.
