Interesting place where the natural environment is reclaiming the area.

This is what Mee Maw B from Brisbane Region, Australia had to say. She was travelling from Launcestion heading to St Helens way. Such a surprise and sooooo unusual This place is so surprising. The turnoff is on the road between Branxholm and Weldborough (less than the half way mark from Branxholm) and then there's a 13km gravel road which is fine for 2WD. You then walk about 100m to the dam wall and OMG it's like something prehistoric. You come upon this huge wall with "doorways" in it. One of them has been knocked through and you can peer through into another world of rocks and ferns. The wall is a discontinued dam and when you walk through you enter another world. It's a photographer's dream and I just couldn't get enough. This is absolutely a must see! Malcolm H from Launceston, Australia had this to say A great piece of history Great piece of local history and a great feat of workmanship . Photographers delight. Travelling east just outside Branxholm take the signposted turn to Mt Paris Dam - 13km . Reset your trip meter to 0 at this point . At almost exactly 13 km there will be a reasonably well used track running downhill to your left . This is the turn - someone has stolen the sign ! If your car is low to the ground walk from here its only about 150 m . Well worth the look . You can continue on the same road through to Welborough and the Tasman Highway ; another 6km. Here at Fairfield house we love this place. My nans brothers helped build the dam and my father used to play on it and even swim in the dam many years ago. Love taking my guest for photograpy tours here and then having a gorgeous lunch at the Weldbourgh Hotel before heading towards Columba Falls, Halls Falls, Big Tree and Blue Teir then calling into Fairfield House at Goshen before St Helens. We always suggest to our guest to break their trip up and stay with us for at least 3 to 4 days to take in all that our gorgoeus area has to offer.
