Information

Hellyer Gorge is the steeply winding gorge of the Hellyer River. The Murchison Highway passes through the area with many sharp and steep bends, which provides the setting to a stage of Targa Tasmania.A delightful wayside stop at the Gorge on the Murchison Highway south gives the opportunity for travellers to stop and explore a section of rainforest of tall myrtle beech, encrusted with mosses, fungi and epiphyte orchids. A number of walking tracks along the banks of the Hellyer River (near the rest area) provide a pleasant walk to refresh before journeying on. It is situated in the heart of a mountainous and heavily forested area, near one of the visually most impressive sections of highway in Tasmania.
