Kimberley is a small rural settlement where the Mersey River passes between Deloraine and Railton. Its unusual warm spring is the best-known public place, while the old railway bridge records the transport corridor that once linked the district more closely by rail.

Treat the warm springs as a public reserve, not a spa

Council planning records identify Kimberley Warm Springs as a grassed public area with barbecue facilities. The spring-fed pool is a natural feature with simple recreation infrastructure, not a supervised commercial bath complex.

Check council notices and conditions at the site before entering the water. Water quality, maintenance and access can change, and there is no reason to assume lifeguards or specialist bathing facilities are present. Keep glass away from the pool and leave room for local users.

The railway bridge is a heritage structure

The Kimberley Railway Bridge over the Mersey River is permanently entered on the Tasmanian Heritage Register. View it only from lawful public ground and do not walk on rail infrastructure, cross fences or use private driveways.

Do not rely on old directions to Dasher Falls

Some older visitor material promotes a route to Dasher Falls. Current specialist access information states that the landowner prohibits access and has removed route details. Do not follow archived directions or roadside markers unless the relevant land manager publicly confirms a lawful route.

Use Deloraine for services and heritage, Railton for another small-town stop, or Mole Creek for managed karst attractions and national-park information.
