Listing Details
Dismal Swamp offers a fascinating journey into a place where the spirit of nature and the creativity of Tasmanian artists come together. Begin at the visitor centre on the rim of the sinkhole, where the cantilever, deck and fully licensed cafe offer views over the canopy of the only Blackwood swamp of this kind in the Southern Hemisphere. From here descend 40 metres to the sinkhole on a gentle stroll or for those looking for an adrenalin rush, the 110m slide is not to be missed. On the swamp floor, four pathways lead you into a giant hole in the earth's surface. Open your eyes and your mind to enchanting mystery as the spirit of the swamp speaks to you. Open seven days a week 9am-5pm November to March, 9am-4pm all other months. Closed on Christmas Day and during hazardous weather.
