The Ferntree Gully circuit begins near the Ferntree Gully Environmental Reserve entrance, following the main walking track into the heart of the sandstone gorge. Over 5 km, the walk meanders through shaded gullies, past fern-lined moist slopes, and up to panoramic lookouts on the escarpment rim. Total ascent for the loop is 178 m, with steady climbs out of the gully and onto ridge tops punctuated by well-placed stone steps and graded track.

Our original plan for the day was to tackle Quamby Bluff, a 4 to 5-hour return walk providing panoramic views of the Central Plateau and Great Western Tiers. However, as we reached the trailhead the cloud and mist remained low and we felt we might be wasting our time. An alternative was to drive a bit further and walk to Liffey Falls.

Our legs were fatigued after some recent long walking days but before we left Mount Field National Park we decided to complete this waterfalls walk circuit. Mount Field National Park lies within the boundaries of the Big River nation and Aboriginal people have lived in Tasmania for at least 40,000 years.

We had a busy morning having a look at Remarkable Cave and then doing an 8km run along the scenic coastal trail towards Mount Brown. We rewarded ourselves with a lovely brunch at the Lucky Ducks Cafe in Nubeena. Afterwards, we were looking for a not too strenuous walk for our final day on the Tasman Peninsula.

We decided to opt for Holwell Gorge walk after leaving Port Sorell on our way to Myrtle Park east of Launceston. It seemed the likely to be the least touristy of our options which it certainly proved to be. The gorge can be accessed from either end. We parked on the northern side and walked south.
