Mount Victoria Forest Reserve

Mount Victoria Reserve is a temperate rainforest area in the North East portion of the Australian state of Tasmania.

It is of acknowledged conservation significance and was identified as a high priority Recommended Area for Protection (RAP) by authorities during the 1980s and protected as part of the Comprehensive and Representative (CAR) Reserve system touted by Tasmanian State and Federal Australian Governments as securing conservation values.

The Tasmanian Greens Opposition Leader said on 7 May 2007: ""Private Timber Reserves such as those to be logged should not be approved if a cartage route is not determined as part of the proposal, or else local government planning and other land uses will be at risk, as on this occasion".

The falls are viewable from a lookout directly opposite them, and are impressive all year round, especially in the winter and spring months.

There is a short track, which takes 20 minutes return, that leads to the base of the falls, but it can also be seen from the car park across the gorge.
