Guide Falls

Tasmania

This is a popular picnic area just south of Burnie, near Ridgley. An easy walking track to the base of the two-tiered falls is a few hundred metres upstream. The road continues to the top of the falls and an accessible viewing platform. A walking track leads you through the thick undergrowth of the riverside, down to a grassed area at the bottom. There are barbecues with picnic tables at both the top and bottom of the falls; a beautiful place to spend the day in summer.

very pretty and easy walk

Very pretty falls best seen from the bottom but still nice if unable to negotiate the steps.

Great short walk, a little steep but worth the waterfall at the top.
