Moderate walk to Billy Browns Falls near Huonville, Tasmania

Near Judbury and Huon Bush Retreats.

Take North Huon Road (C619) to Ranelagh where you can get items for a packed lunch at the Ranelagh General Store. Continue on North Huon Road (C619) to Judbury crossroads, turn right onto Judds Creek Road.  Climbing 12km into the sub-alpine forest, the road becomes a rough gravel track. If you have 2WD, stop early and walk the last 1-2 km, with 4WD a high clearance two wheel drive you can get to the trail head.
At the major fork in the road you will see a handwritten sign on your right showing the trail head.
The walking track now climbs for about 700 metres then descends to the bottom of the falls. Sometimes a trickle but after rain good flow creates a spectacle.
Distance: about 2 km.
Time: 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hrs
