Further into the Pyengana Valley from the cheese factory and the pub you'll find St Columba Falls, Tasmania's highest. Here the South George River takes a spectacular 90m plunge off the hillside – particularly impressive after rain. An easy 20-minute walk from the car park leads to a platform at its base.
