Marriot Falls

Marriot Falls was the ultimate destination of my trip that went via Lake Meadowbank. The track to get there was a little different to what was advertised on other websites. The falls themselves are quite spectacular, and I believe moreso than the Russell Falls nearby. Unfortunately due to the higher than normal water flow due to recent rains, I was unable to get as close as I would have liked, and as a result the photo has been obscured by trees.

Track notes for those interested can be found here.

Lake Meadowbank is formed by the Meadowbank Hydro development, and is the most downstream of all the power stations on the Derwent scheme. The upper reaches of the lake is quite shallow, and the area photographed has been known to be dry under exceptional summer conditions. Just out of picture is a causeway and single lane bridge, which makes a spectacular crossing on the way to Ellendale & National Park. Grad ND8 + CPF Filters used.

Lady Barren Falls

I have to admit, I am not particularly fond of this photo, mainly because there was nowhere to compose the photo other than a small platform built by the Parks and Wildlife Service, which had a tree overgrowing the more interesting aspects of the falls. There is definitely a lot more water flowing over this waterfall than there is over the Horse Shoe Falls & Russell Falls. Did I mention the 1 hour round trip is quite a hike?

When most people visit Mt Field, the main attraction in the Russell Falls. but with the lack of sustained rain, I feel that these falls are quite underwhelming. Instead I took photos of the two other major waterfalls in the park, the Horse Shoe (Pictured) and Lady Barren (Tomorrow’s photo) Falls.

The walk along the track to the Russell falls is a photo experience in itself. Rich with ancient ferns and shrubs this is a prime example of temperate rainforest. I happened across this wonderful example early into the walk.
