Cascade Track is a relatively easy walk that climbs through the lower foothills of kunanyi / Mount Wellington, beginning behind the historic Cascade Brewery in South Hobart. It’s a wide, well-formed path through open eucalypt forest and fern-filled gullies, and is one of the main walking connections into Wellington Park from the city. The track connects to several other routes, including Lower Luge, Old Farm Track and Myrtle Gully, and is a peaceful bushwalk despite being only minutes from central Hobart.

Myrtle Gully Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

Myrtle Gully Falls is a beautiful, small rainforest waterfall that cascades over a series of mossy rock ledges. Reached along Myrtle Gully Track, the falls sit within a cool, fern-filled gully and are often at their best after rain. There is a small bridge near the falls that makes for an easy viewpoint over the creek and the surrounding forest, and is an ideal spot for a quiet, picturesque break to enjoy the scenery.

Secret Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

Secret Falls is a breathtaking small waterfall nestled in the forest along the Myrtle Gully Track, accessible via a short, unmarked side path. The falls drop through a narrow rocky crevice into a sheltered gully surrounded by ferns and mossy forest. Hidden (hence the name) just before Myrtle Gully Falls, it’s quiet and tucked away, but well worth stopping to appreciate and even capture a few photos before continuing along the track.
