Waterfalls of Tasmania, Australia

Crescent Beach and Mount Brown
Situated in The Tasman National Park, not far from historic Port Arthur. A very pleasant 4-6 hour walk (depending on detours), at times taking the walker through dense scrub, with wild flowers and shrubs of many types growing in profusion. The climb to Mount Brown is short but steep (but well worth the effort) - the view from the top is quite spectacular. Seen in the distance is Cape Raoul, Tasman Island, Cape Pillar (a future walk in the planning) and the southern-most tip of Bruny Island. The sea cliffs are amongst the highest and most rugged in the world. On the journey towards Crescent Beach there is a formidable gulch that feeds Maingon Blowhole which is so deep the bottom cannot be seen due to the unstable surrounds - the water can be heard crashing far below. Continuing along the track Crescent Beach comes into view with its golden sand and high sandbanks. Further around the coast past the end of the beach another two impressive blowholes can been seen
