Tasmanian Railtrail Update
Montezuma Falls Railtrail
The North East Dundas Tramway once provided access to the mining town of Williamsford, passing on a high trestle bridge past the Montezuma Falls, one of the tallest waterfalls in the state. Today this is a popular walking and 4WD track.
Work has started on upgrading the 5 km trail from Williamsford to the falls. This involves the upgrading of this section of the trail with the provision of a new foot bridge across a river crossing and a bridge across the falls themselves to replace the now collapsed railway bridge.
Although intended primarily for walkers it is expected that these bridges will also be usable by cyclists.
