"She looked so happy there at the waterfall that I decided to visit the place" said Craig Doumouras in an interview at SBS radio. At the same time, Craig's health began to subside. Visiting the waterfall gave him strength and birth to an idea. He wished to honor his mother's memory and at the same time improve his own health. That's when he made the big decision to explore and record most if not all the Tasmanian waterfalls.

Tasmania has hundreds of waterfalls, some of which are in very sloppy and inaccessible places. It takes days full of hiking and endurance to survive the difficulties in indomitable nature. Craig Doumouras devotes his spare time almost every weekend to exploring, recording and photographing the Tasmanian waterfalls. Alone or with companions. His unique photos from the Tasmanian waterfalls are then shown and presented at the Waterfalls of Tasmania website.

This site is the most detailed record of waterfalls in Tasmania. It is a great search tool. Now more and more people, follow the example of Craig and accompany him in his excursions to Tasmanian nature.
