There are two walks here. One is a circuit which takes you through beautiful cool temperate rainforest and lasts about 20 minutes. The other leads you to the Franklin River itself; this is actually the end of the circuit walk, taking about 10 minutes. We always seem to take a lot longer.
On the circuit walk you will see many things from the smallest mosses, lichens and fungus to the largest trees. It also takes you past the Surprise River, which is a tributary of the Franklin. There is an opportunity to see wildlife, on our last walk there we saw a P ink Robin and tried to get shots but the light and the speed of the bird made it impossible at the time.
Both tracks are sometimes wet underfoot in places, where it is not boarded, so watch where you tread. It is flat and you should be able to get a wheelchair or pram through it. This is definitely one walk I would recommend to everyone. It shows you what the environment is like in the roughest part of the national park in an easy to traverse area. If you do this walk remember to wear a warm jacket, even in summer, because it does get cold and also shoes which will keep out the cold and wet.
Enjoy the walk.
