Pyengana

For a change of scenery it is only a short half hour drive to the lush green dairy country of Pyengana. From here you can visit the magnificient St Columba falls – one of Tasmania’s highest falls with a drop of over 90 meters. It is an easy scenic walk through beautiful rainforest to a viewing platform to see the spectacular falls up close. For those unable to do the walk the falls can also be viewed from the comfort of your vehicle in the car park.
