Sinkhole

Sinkhole Trowutta is a unique and breathtaking destination in Tasmania.

Located in the Trowutta Arch State Reserve, it is considered one of the best examples of a water-filled sinkhole in the area. The sinkhole was formed when the cave above it collapsed, creating a beautiful lake covered in algae.

To reach the sinkhole, you can take a 5-km gravel road followed by a 1.1-km walking trail through lush rainforest. The turn-off to the arch is well signposted and the road is in good condition. While some attractions are located away from the main roads and require driving on gravel roads, they are well maintained.

Once you arrive at the sinkhole, you will be captivated by its beauty. It is a perfect spot for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts, offering stunning photo opportunities. Sinkhole Trowutta is also part of the Tarkine Drive, a 200 km road trip that includes other attractions such as wilderness beaches, rainforest walks, Indigenous cultural sites, and waterfalls.

The best time to visit Sinkhole Trowutta and other attractions on the Tarkine Drive is during the summer months of December to February when temperatures are warmest and rainfall is lowest. This season is ideal for hiking, photography, and exploring the area. In conclusion, Sinkhole Trowutta is a must-visit destination in Tasmania's North West. Its natural beauty, lush surroundings, and hiking trail make it a perfect destination for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts.
