The largest sinkhole of its sort in Australia is called the Dismal Swamp. You can descend by foot or use the 110-meter slide to access Blackwood's pathway and forest floor. It is located in the very northwest, 32 kilometres from Smithton and 116 kilometres (90 minutes) from Burnie. The boardwalk winds through the forest, guiding you to natural beauty and artwork produced by several well-known Tasmanian artists. The 624-hectare sinkhole is like a portal to another universe. Before the construction of the boardwalk, the artists made the pieces after visiting Dismal Swamp and drawing inspiration from it.

Visitors can better understand this ancient habitat, created by the dolomite's dissolution, thanks to interpretive markers. A significant portion of the terrain has remained unspoiled due to the steep sides acting as a barrier to invading weeds and animal pests. Rare birds and the little-known burrowing crayfish call it home. On Wednesdays at 8 p.m., an exceptional performance of 'Dismal by Night' is offered if there are enough reservations., and reservations are required.

A cantilevered walkway hung above the treetops connects the visitor centre and restaurant at the top of the sinkhole from which you can see the forest. Enjoy your meal in the restaurant, which is licensed and open for special parties and functions, as well as the traditional Christmas luncheon or supper. You can get lunch boxes from the restaurant to take with you as you explore Dismal Swamp. There is a forest interpretation area where you may learn more about the local history and unusual ecosystem.
