Today we joined a group of friends to visit a dramatic waterfall that is situated in the North East area of Tasmania not far from the town of Ringarooma.
Ralph Falls plummets down the fluted cliffs of Mt Victoria in the Mt Victoria Forest Reserve which is situated south of the rural township of Ringarooma. As the longest single drop waterfall in Australia (cliff top to valley) it’s well worth the easy 20 minute return walk to ‘Norms Lookout’ that is located to the side of the falls. From the look out one can see the single sliver of water as it plunges down the mountain. As well, the beautiful panorama of the Ringarooma Valley opens before you with views to Bass Strait and the Furneaux Islands.

After our visit to the Reserve today, I would recommend taking the extra time and walk along the longer return loop that passes through tall melaleuca and mossy banks passes the Cash's Gorge Lookout. From the look out, it is an easy walk on a duckboard across a button grass plain to the car park. Today there were a lot of plants in flower and it was easy to photograph them from the duckboard.
