Apsley Gorge Falls
Apsley Gorge Falls
Apsley Gorge Falls sits within Douglas Apsley National Park, just north of Bicheno in Tasmania's east.
The falls are reached via a trail that begins at the Apsley Waterhole, climbs roughly 150 metres in elevation, then descends back to river level just above the cascade. The standard out-and-back route is 5. 6 kilometres and takes around 1.
5 to 2 hours (Grade 3).
When river flows allow, walkers can extend the trip into a 7-kilometre loop by following the Douglas River downstream through the gorge, passing a series of pools and cascades back to the waterhole — a more demanding Grade 4 route requiring at least 3 hours.
