Russell Falls, Multi-tiered waterfall in Mount Field National Park, Tasmania.
The waterfall cascades over multiple horizontal layers of sandstone, creating distinct tiers surrounded by dense mountain ash forest and ancient ferns.
Initially named Browning Falls upon its discovery in 1856, the waterfall received its current name Russell Falls in 1884 as tourism increased.
The waterfall gained national recognition when it appeared on Tasmanian postage stamps in 1899, promoting the region's growing tourism industry.
The waterfall stands along a 600-meter paved walking track from the visitor center, featuring railings and multiple viewing platforms.
Water flowing over Permian siltstone creates a natural stepped pattern, with resistant sandstone forming vertical faces between each tier.
