Australia's second oldest national park; the only place in Tasmania where you can ski and see giant fern waterfalls on the same day
Declared in 1916, it is Australia's second oldest national park after Royal National Park. Its altitudinal range allows a single visit to combine, depending on the season, ski runs in its upper reaches with trails among giant tree ferns and waterfalls at its foot, an unusual combination of landscapes within a relatively compact protected area.
