Russell Falls

Russell Falls

Russell Falls are located on the eastern boundary of Mount Field National Park, in Tasmania, Australia. Accessible by paved walking track, the falls are a popular tourist attraction.

They were first named the Browning Falls after the original discoverer, c.1856, but were known as the Russell Falls after 1884, by which time they were already a popular tourist attraction. The Falls Reserve was established to protect them in 1885. In 1899 the Russell Falls were selected as one of eight images to be used on a set of pictorial postage stamps, aimed at promoting the then colony's growing tourist industry.

Russell Falls are located 100 metres downstream of Horseshoe Falls.
