World Heritage Forest Monastery campsite

Quamby Bluff (1227m), the northernmost peak in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, provides panoramic views of Northern Tasmania including the Central Plateau and the Great Western Tiers. The walk starts on farmland adjacent to the Lake Hwy (A5) and climbs through tea tree, eucalypt and rainforest.  The walk has an elevation gain of around 500m over 3km. Time: 4-5 hours return ​Grade 3: Some bushwalking experience recommended. Tracks may have short steep hill sections, a rough surface and many steps. Several steep sections of scree need to be crossed. Image: © 2020 Jade Austen. All rights Reserved.

Small distillery and bond store situated at the base of Quamby Bluff and surrounded by forest. Bogan Road Distillery offers guided tours and tastings and is a paradise for nature lovers, bird lovers and of course whisky lovers. If the gate is open come on in or give us a call to make sure we're open.

There are two walking tracks through cool temperate rainforest to Liffey Falls, which is part of Tasmania's Wilderness World Heritage area. Liffey Falls Track from the upper car park (2 km return) passes beneath towering eucalypts and massive tree ferns, and there are lookout points along the way at different levels of the falls. There is some uphill walking on your return to the car park. Due to the narrow gravel road into the car park, the Upper Falls track is not accessible to long wheelbase vehicles such as caravans and motorhomes. Please take the alternate route via Liffey to the lower car park and start your walk there. The track from the lower car park and campground follows the Liffey River up through temperate rainforest to the main falls and back again (6km return). This walk is longer but has a gentler incline than the upper track. Both walks provide beautiful examples of Tasmania's temperate rainforest and ancient river systems. Time: 45 min return from the upper car park, 3 hours return from the lower car park. Grade 2: Suitable for most ages. The track has a hardened or compacted surface with uphill sections and sections of occasional steps. Image: © 2020 Jade Austen. All rights Reserved
