Montezuma Falls

Montezuma Falls is a 104-metre waterfall near Williamsford south of Rosebery in western Tasmania, within the West Coast Council area. Set in dense temperate rainforest, it is among Tasmania's tallest waterfalls. Access is via the Montezuma Falls Track, which follows the formation of the former North East Dundas Tramway. The site is notable for its height, rainforest setting, historic mining tramway heritage and a narrow suspension bridge near the falls.

Visitors can expect a rainforest walk along a wide, relatively flat former tramway formation to a tall, narrow waterfall plunging 104 metres over a cliff face. The track passes through temperate rainforest with ferns, mosses and myrtle forest, crosses small creeks and includes a narrow suspension bridge near the base of the falls. There are no built visitor centres at the falls itself; the experience is focused on bushwalking, sightseeing and photography in a natural forest environment.

The falls are accessed via the formation of the North East Dundas Tramway, a 2 ft narrow-gauge tramway built in 1896-1897 to serve mines at Williamsford and Rosebery. The tramway operated until 1932. The walking track reuses the tramway embankment, cuttings and bridge sites, reflecting the West Coast mining boom and transport history of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
