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.
The falls carry the name of Lady Clara Barron, wife of Sir Harry Barron, a former Governor of Tasmania. They sit on Lady Barron Creek, a short distance from Russell Falls, and the surrounding Mount Field National Park draws many visitors to this stretch of the creek.
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 falls drop over horizontal Permian marine siltstone benches, while the vertical faces are made of harder sandstone layers. The name honours Lady Clara Barron, wife of Sir Harry Barron, a former Governor of Tasmania. The cascade runs on Lady Barron Creek, a short distance from Russell Falls.
