Lady Barron Falls — Attraction in Mount Field

The Russell Falls, Tall Trees, Lady Barron watetfall circuit passes through fern filled rainforest and woodlands containing the famous giant swamp gums.

There are three waterfalls, Russell, Horseshoe and Lady Barron, to take in.

Russell is on the coach tour itineries and can be busy but the long flight of stairs to the top of the falls and the start of the Tall Trees circuit thins the crowd quickly.

If you don't have the time, or the inclination, for the additional 40 minute walk back to the visitor centre via Lady Barron falls, just complete the Tall Trees circuit and return via Russell falls.

Reviewing the walk beginning near campgrounds, to Lady Barron Falls then return same way (not circuit). First ten mins of walk is quite steep & somewhat muddy, flat for a bit as you walk through the bush, then approx 240 stairs down to the forest floor which is beautiful. Mostly flat track along the edge of the river until you reach the falls. We took 50mins each way, at a moderate pace (not 40mins as sign suggests). Falls were lovely & certainly had more water than Russell Falls (somehow). From LB falls, you can continue the loop for an hour back to the visitor center or return same way (as we did) which is shorter, though keep in mind the climb of 240 stairs 😉 Visited mid-morning on a Sunday in winter & only passed 3 other people, so was...

This is waterfall that can be visited by way of a direct out-and-back trail or as part of a longer 'Three Falls Circuit' that starts with the Russell Falls Short Walk, linking up with Horseshoe Falls and the Tall Trees Trail to form a circular loop track to/from the Mount Fields National Park Visitor Centre.

We liked the Lady Baron Falls best of the three falls visited on the Circuit track. It had the most water on the day, surprisingly being more impressive than the much more famous Russell Falls, at least on the early May...
