Pelverata Falls, Waterfall in Snug Tiers Nature Reserve, Tasmania, Australia.
Pelverata Falls is a waterfall in Snug Tiers Nature Reserve in Tasmania that drops 114 meters over a rocky cliff. The cascade flows through thick eucalyptus forest and descends into a deep gorge.
Snug Tiers Nature Reserve was established to protect Tasmania's natural landscape and provide public access to its features. The walking track to the falls was developed as part of this conservation effort.
The falls are reached by a track that also gives a view of Slippery Falls from across the gorge near Pelverata Falls. In 1976 a teenager slipped and fell near the falls, a reminder that the wet rock stays slippery.
The track to Pelverata Falls takes approximately two hours. A viewpoint of Slippery Falls can be seen from across the gorge near the falls. In summer the falls slow to a trickle and sometimes dry up completely, so check conditions before setting out.
The water flow changes dramatically between seasons, ranging from powerful cascades in winter to thin streams in summer. These shifts affect both how the falls look and the difficulty of navigating the path itself.
