Dip Falls
Dip Falls is a beautiful waterfall with a two-tiered structure and unique rock formations. It is situated in the Dip River Forest Reserve, near Mawbanna in the Northwest of Tasmania.
The top section of Dip Falls is where the Dip River cascades approximately 40 metres over a wide section of hexagonal basalt lava.
At the lower section of Dip Falls, the Dip River flows approximately 10 metres over a semi-circle rim with larger, more pronounced step-shaped basalt columns.
There are several areas to view the beauty of Dip Falls.
A newly constructed staircase leads down through the rainforest to a lookout at the base of Dip Falls, which spans the Dip River.
From the main carpark, if you continue along the road and across the bridge, another short track brings you to a lookout with a spectacular view of the upper falls.
This lookout is much easier to access and is signposted as wheelchair accessible.
Dip Falls is awe-inspiring after rain; these photos and videos were taken in the area on a few rainy days.
Directions to Dip Falls
We visited Dip Falls from Stanley, which was approx. 41 kilometres away.
From the Stanley Visitor Centre, head West on Main Road (B21) towards Dovecote Road and continue along the B21 for 6.6 kilometres.
Turn left onto the Bass Highway and continue along the Bass Highway for 7.8 kilometres. Turn right onto Mawbanna Road and continue for 27 kilometres.
The last several kilometres of this road are unsealed but are in reasonably good condition and suitable for a 2WD Vehicle. You will then see the Dip Falls Carpark on the right.
