After revealing a fairyland of stalactites, stalagmites and other limestone formations, the guided tour ends with a gobsmacking glow-worm show during a few moments of darkness. The gully leading to Russell Falls in Mount Field National Park is another hot spot.

A leisurely nature walk leads from the picnic area near the car park down through the forest, offering plenty of lookout points along the way. The final descent to the base of the falls is rather steep, but by and large this is a fairly comfortable walk, suitable for all ages

Have a taste, maybe buy a bottle, or even kick back at this shed’s humble bar.
