Information

Philosopher Falls Walk (2km) The Philosopher Falls walk in Tasmania's Tarkine rainforest offers a stunning, moderate hike through ancient forest, following an old mining race and crossing the Arthur River to a viewing platform via a 200+ step staircase for spectacular tiered waterfall views, especially known for its unique fungi, but requires care on the sometimes muddy, unsealed access road. It's a worthwhile 1-2 hour return trip, though the stairs make it challenging for some, and it's named after tin discoverer James "Philosopher" Smith
