I headed north again stopping at the Henty Glacier Moraine

I kept driving North past an old Cable Way before turning right to Montezuma Falls where i did the 8Km walk out along an old Tramway.
The walk was fairly flat and easy but due to a whole lot of unfitness i was still buggered by the time i got back to the Ute.

Montezuma Falls [formerly Osbourne Falls] is the highest permanent waterfall in Tasmania at 104 Metres and is on a tributary of the Pieman River, possibly Avon Creek.

Not far from the falls is a horizontal Mineshaft but it is wet underfoot and i didnt have a torch so only went to the barricade.

Just before the falls is a cool cable bridge to give you a broad view of Montezuma Falls ... a bit hard to walk along and film at the same time though.

Then it was the long walk back.
I drove out to Plimsoll Dam and camped with an ice cold swim and an early night.
