GETTING THERE Montezuma Falls are about 1 hour 15 mins drive from both Strahan and Queestown via the Murchison Highway (A10). Where possible, please avoid driving in our reserves at night. You are sharing the roads with our native wildlife, so take it slow and watch out for animals on the road. You might expect a waterfall named after a powerful Aztec emperor to be grand, and in this case you’d be right. This walk follows a former tramway through wet, steep, thickly forested west coast country to one of the highest falls in Tasmania. It’s amazing to ponder how they ever built a tramway here. The track eventually comes right to the base of the 104m high falls, and to a bridge that offers great views back to the falls, and out to the wild western rainforests. Return via the same track. Walking from Williamsford, the track is almost entirely through pleasant and open park-like rainforest. This includes leatherwood, myrtle, sassafras, giant tree ferns and eye-catching fungi. You’re sure to get close to several different birds along the way, notably White’s thrush, which is a medium-sized, speckled brown and white ground dwelling bird. It forages quietly on the rainforest floor and, when disturbed, flies only a short distance before settling again, enabling you to get a second look.

Located in the heart of the West Coast Wilderness the easy and level 1-2 hour walk takes you through a forest of uniquely Tasmanian Trees to the base of our Tallest Waterfall. Spot wildlife on the way. The walk begins at Williamsford, 2kms south of the town of Rosebery.
