We drove about 40 minutes inland (south) from Stanley along a narrow farm road that is only partially sealed to Dip Falls. It is one of the more interesting of the many waterfalls in Tasmania, mainly because the water flows over cubic-basalt columns.
As for the other waterfalls so far, the water volumn was very low. Despite the lack of water, the falls were still pretty impressive. I can only imagine what these falls look like in spring. The falls are in two distinct sections with a shelf in between. The lower section is far more photogenic,
A short distance further down the road from Dip Falls is 'The Big Tree'. This particular 'Big Tree' is roughly 400 years old & stands at 62m. It is also was a 16m circumference. As for many old growth forests, there's rarely one 'Big Tree' rather a number of similar big old trees, including a few that have falled down.
We chose the Big Tree picnic area to invite the march flies for lunch. Harry's tolerance for the biting flies soon ran out & he finished his lunch in the car.
