About

The track to Arve Falls is easy to follow and provides a wonderful glimpse of sub-alpine vegetation, including a variety of wildflowers, silver banksia and Tasmanian snow gum with their beautiful twisted branches and striking, smooth mottled bark. 

Following the creek, you will soon reach the waterfall via a staircase and viewing platform. 

The falls are not tall but have an impressive drop over the edge of the plateau and overlooking the valley beneath.
