Day 121 - Mount Field, 26th October 2025

No need for alarms today, we had a sleep in and headed off for our walks mid morning.  We checked out the visitor's centre and then headed off on the 6.1 kilometre Three Falls Circuit.  It started with a short walk to Russell Falls, through some beautiful forest….

…before we came to the falls which were just stunning.

We then climbed a bit higher….

….to Horseshoe Falls.

The walk continued on the Tall Trees walk which took us through the forest and showcased some magnificent old trees. 

Last but not least was Lady Barron Falls.  The walk wasn't too difficult but there was a couple of steep staircases with quite a lot of steps....I hate steps!

We walked back to the vans and on the way we ran in to some local wildlife.  He didn't seem bothered by us at all and certainly wasn't in a hurry, just poking around looking for food.

We had some lunch while sitting in the sunshine.  We decided to go up to Left of Field campgrounds to have a look.  We had heard it was good but there was a show on and it had got booked out.  It looked like a fun, quirky, little place to stay.  We didn't see any but apparently there are platypuses in the pond and the boys definitely like that you can have campfires there (we are in national park so no campfires for us).

We had our dinner and then waited for it to get a bit later so we could check out the glow worms.  It was cold and raining but we were not deterred!

The walk up to Russell Falls was an easy one, if slightly creepy as it was getting dark.

We probably went too early as it was still light and we were standing around waiting for it to get dark. The falls were equally as impressive in the fading light.

Eventually darkness came and we were able to spot some glow worms lighting up the night. Not that we could capture them in our photos.

Back at camp we had our cuppas and cards and were very lucky to have a possum decide to walk through our camp kitchen.  We were too slow with the camera though.
