Although average rainfall varies dramatically across Tasmania (Hobart is Australia’s second-driest capital city after Adelaide), some areas like the West Coast receive over 2.4m a year of rain. Around 40% of the island is protected by national parks and reserves.

While some waterfalls are challenging to reach, many of the most spectacular falls are in easy reach. One of the most-photographed waterfalls in Tasmania (if not Australia, is Russell Falls.
