About this guide
Last reviewed · verify live park facts with Parks Tasmania
mountfieldnationalpark.com.au is an independent, unofficial visitor guide. We help people plan walks, waterfalls, itineraries, stays and tours around Mount Field National Park, Tasmania. The usual first visit is Russell Falls; Tarn Shelf only works if you have time and the alpine road is open.
We are not Parks & Wildlife Service Tasmania, the Tasmanian Government, Tourism Tasmania, or any other government or commercial attraction operator.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Big River Nation country and their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. This site does not speak for Traditional Owner groups or for Parks Tasmania. Prefer official acknowledgment wording from appropriate authorities when citing Country in formal contexts.

Help people plan Mount Field days — waterfalls first, alpine second, and a clear winter road picture — while funding free guides through clearly disclosed ads and affiliates. Parks Pass, campground fees and official hut bookings are never affiliated.
How we work (accuracy policy)
We use publicly available park facts from Parks Tasmania, keep the three fee systems separate (Parks Pass, campground, Government Huts), and write practical logistics for Russell Falls, Three Falls Circuit, Tarn Shelf and Lake Dobson Road. We do not treat live closures, road status or official prices as fixed facts.
- Distances, grades, fees and open/closed status must be verified on official Parks Tasmania pages before you travel. We never invent live closures.
- Site-wide content review date: . Individual pages may note the same stamp.
- This site does not publish a public contact email — see Contact for official park channels and site expectations.

Mount Field sits on hub collections for waterfall days from Hobart, a gravel-road alpine shelf, and Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage — unlike a Sydney cliff outing or a park with no falls.
