Location and featuresThe Liffey Falls are situated upstream of the town of Liffey, in Meander Valley, accessible from {{TAScity|Deloraine}} via the Lake Highway. The falls commence from the Great Western Tiers at an elevation of {{convert|514|m}} above sea level and descend in the range of {{convert|120|-|160|m}}.[2] Each of the tiered cascades is named in order from upstream to downstream; Alexandra Falls, Hopetoun Falls, The Leap or Spout Falls (also called the Albert Falls), and Victoria Falls.[3] Walking tracks lead to the falls from both upstream(tourist carpark), and downstream. Ethnology-history of the areaThe area surrounding Liffey Falls was a meeting place for Tasmanian Aborigines for thousands of years prior to Colonialism in Australia. The Liffey River was originally called Tellerpangger by the Panninher clan who occupied the area. In 1827 a significant massacre of up to sixty of the Pallittorre clan by European colonists took place during the Black War.[4] {{quotation|The massacre with sixty dead or wounded is reported in The Sydney Morning Herald as happening at Liffey Falls. Colonial Times and Tasmanian Advertiser reporting on 6 July 1827 (page 4, The Natives) on a dispatch from Launceston notes that"They were surrounded whilst sitting round their fires, when the soldiers and others fired at them when about 30 yards distant. They report that there must be about sixty of them killed and wounded."but notes only events near Quamby's Bluff, not explicitly mentioning Liffey Falls.}} GallerySee also{{stack|{{Portal|Tasmania|Environment}}}}
