Nelson Falls - Mt Field - Tasmania

 Located in the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park.
 


West Coast region of Tasmania
 




The landscape ranges from eucalyptus temperate rainforest to alpine moorland, rising to 1,434 metres at the summit of Mount Field .
Mount Field National Park was the first national park created in Tasmania.
Established in 1916.  It's 64 km northwest of Hobart.
 It's part of the homelands of the Big River nation of Tasmanian Aborigines.
 


The largest trees here were growing when Abel Tasman first sighted Tasmania in 1642.
Many are over 100m high.
