After pick-up at your accommodation or prearranged spot, it’s off for a day of waterfalls, rainforests and rural villages.

First up its off to the rainforest and Saint Columba waterfall at Pyengana, which is Tassie's second highest waterfall.

We then head off to the Blue Tier and walk beside a mossy stream on our way to the Anchor Tin Mine. Here you will see the preserved tin Anchor Stampers - mining equipment that was used on and off between 1880 and 1996. 

We then visit a glow-worm tunnel and take a short walk through a myrtle forest.

Then it's on to Mount Paris Dam, an old concrete buttress constructed dam built for the Mount Paris Tin Mine. Prouds (of jewellery fame) were major shareholders in this project.
