Notley Fern Gorge State Reserve

Notley Fern Gorge State Reserve, nestled near the Tamar Valley in northern Tasmania, offers a captivating rainforest experience. The 1.5-kilometer loop track, taking approximately 45 minutes, meanders through towering eucalyptus trees, lush ferns, and moss-covered landscapes. Highlights include 'Bradey's Tree,' a historic burnt-out tree linked to the 1820s bushranger Matthew Brady. The trail features boardwalks, natural paths, and steps, with moderate inclines and creek crossings. Visitors can encounter native birdlife like pink robins and golden whistlers, and nocturnal animals such as Bennetts wallabies and ringtail possums. After the walk, a picnic and barbecue area provides a perfect spot to relax.
