An additional, unique way to experience this attraction is via the Tamar Cruise vessel, which cruises through the waters that carve between the rocky formations.
Newnham is at the doorstep of Lilydale, which is known for its many bushwalks, English style gardens and hiking at Mt Arthur. Lilydale falls is nestled amongst the temperate rainforest. Explore the stunning, local flora and fauna whilst enjoying a short bushwalk that leads to the fresh-flowing waterfall. There are also open grounds here for you to take in your natural surroundings, whilst enjoying a picnic. An additional, more challenging hike is found at Mt Arthur.
