Lilydale Falls Tasmania - Waterfall and Free Camping Leader

Lilydale Falls Tasmania - Waterfall and Free Camping Leader

LilyDale Falls consists of two easily accessible waterfalls, which are only removed from Launceston, Tasmania. These waterfalls are not only worth a stop, but the reserve Lilydale Falls also serves as a great free overnight campsite for those who see Tasmania on the street.

When I say that Lilydale is easily accessible, I mean it really seriously. You will find the parking lot for Lilydale Falls, known as "Lilydale Falls Reserve", right next to the main street. The waterfalls are also just a short 10-minute walk from the Lilydale Fall reserve. Even if they don't stay overnight, the waterfalls offer a great opportunity to represent their legs and snap fresh air in the forest -rich forest.

How do you get to the Lilydale Falls?

lilydale Falls is located directly on the Golconda Road, just a few minutes north of the city of Lilydale. Both cascades flow into the "Second River", which is usually only a gentle current that arises from the hills of Mount Arthur Forest Reserve.

It only takes about 25 minutes to reach these waterfalls when they drive from Launceston. Here, too, the street is paved and in good condition.

The way to the Lilydale Falls

The short walk from the reserve to the Lilydale Falls begins by following a path under the old railway bridge. Expect a simple, 1 -kilometer way back, which contains only a small slope, but is mostly flat. We spent about 45 minutes of this stop, including time to take photos and enjoy the landscape on both waterfalls.

On the way they see many soft tree ferns and some highly towering eucalyptus trees that are typical of Tasmanian forests.

After about 300 meters, you can reach the fork, which is divided into the two waterfalls on the Lilydale Falls Walk. If you turn right at the first fork, you can get down to the foot of the first waterfall via a well -preserved wooden staircase.

Waterfall number one

The first waterfall on this hike is wider than the other, with a thick forest that surrounds its pelvis. Immediately you will notice a huge fallen tree right next to the waterfall. We took advantage of this by climbing to get a unique viewpoint.

The second waterfall

After taking a few quick photos of the first waterfall at Lilydale Falls, we went up the steps and further to the second waterfall. At first we expected a somewhat longer walk, but the path ended at another wooden viewing platform before we could even settle on the way.

The second waterfall has a broader clearing and a slightly deeper diving pool. Nevertheless, both pools are too flat to swim in them. Instead, we took a few photos again and enjoyed the view before we turned back to the reserve.

Lilydale Falls Reserve

The Lilydale Falls Reserve, the parking lot on which the waterfall path begins, is also a free campsite. There is enough space for approx. 15 vehicles with maximum load. Although we didn't actually stay here in our van, the reviews in the campermate app said that it can get pretty crowded.

on the opposite side of the street there is also an alpaca arm that was quite enthusiastic about Haylea!

Lilydale Falls Free Camping

This freedom campsite in the Lilydale Falls Reserve is largely a large, flat gravel parking lot. There are toilet plants and a large grazing on which tents are apparently allowed.

We also noticed that there were some fireplaces in the reserve. All in all, it looked like a great place to spend the night after looking at the two cascades to the Lilydale Falls. Nevertheless, we drove on on the way to the east coast.

Below are some other photos that we took from the Lilydale Falls. Unfortunately, it hadn't rained much before our visit, as you can see on the lean current. Anyway, we enjoyed our stopover and I think you will do it too!
