The Mersey River Forests
See more Rainforests and Jungles. See best of Tasmania in Australia.

The Overland track is probably Australia's best known long distance walk, covering around 85 kilometres through the mountains of central west Tasmania. In the central section of this walk, the track enters the Mersey River, where ancient rainforests are hemmed in between Cathedral Mountain and Castle Crag. A string of impressive waterfalls, some of the tallest in the state, cuts through this silent valley. Moss covered trunks, filtered light, and endless hues of green characterise these forests. Occasional natural clearings give views up to rocky mountains and in spring and early summer, the heavy smell of the flowers of the Leatherwood tree adds to the experience. Early spring for fewer people and the flowering of the Leatherwood.
