Lady Barron Falls, Cascading waterfall in Mount Field National Park, Tasmania, Australia.
Lady Barron Falls is a multi-tiered waterfall in Mount Field National Park that cascades over flat layers of siltstone and sandstone rock. The water drops in several stages, creating a quiet pool at the base where the stream continues downstream.
The waterfall is named after Lady Clara Barron, whose husband Sir Harry Barron was Tasmania's governor in the early 20th century. The area was later developed as a protected park to preserve the region's natural features.
Mount Field National Park integrates Lady Barron Falls into a circuit that connects visitors with Tasmania's natural heritage through interpretive displays.
These falls are part of an easy-to-reach hiking circuit in the park that connects several other waterfalls and takes about two hours to complete. The best time to visit is during mild weather, as steep sections can become slippery when wet.
The hiking trail in this area has scientific measuring stations where researchers track and study the height of old eucalyptus trees. These observation points let visitors see the ongoing scientific work that monitors the forest.
