Leven Canyon Lookout

1.4 km circuit

45 min to 1 h

Leven Canyon Lookout

Starting from the Leven Canyon Picnic Area at the end of Leven Canyon Road, Nietta, this walk takes you to two superb lookouts on a circuit via the Fern Walk and Leven Canyon tracks. It’s rare to find such a magnificently wild and powerful place that is so easily accessible. Two lookouts, Cruickshanks and Edge, can be accessed on this circuit track. Each lookout allows you to enjoy spectacular and expansive views of the canyon. Along the ferny track, you can see some smaller highlights, including colourful fungi and native wildlife. Facilities include informative panels detailing the significance of the canyon, and a picnic area with barbecues, tables and toilets. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Brownings and Thorsbys Tunnels

1.7 km return

45 min to 1 h

Brownings and Thorsbys Tunnels

Starting from the Ferndene Gorge car park off Ironcliffe Road, Penguin, this walk takes you past the Brownings and Thorsbys tunnels. Enjoy a short walk through a beautiful rainforest alongside a gentle creek and discover two historic silver mining tunnels within Ferndene Gorge, one of the region's hidden gems. The walk starts by crossing a small bridge over McBride's Creek, then follows a path running parallel to the creek through tall eucalypts and tree ferns, passing Brownings Tunnel before reaching Thorsbys Tunnel. The tunnels aren't very deep and you can enter both of them, but a flashlight is recommended as the interior is dark. Bathrooms and sheltered picnic tables are available at the car park. Sections of the trail can be muddy and slippery, so be sure to wear appropriate footwear. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Mount Duncan Southern Loop

3.2 km circuit

1 h to 1 h 30 min

Mount Duncan Southern Loop

1 h to 1 h 30 min

Starting from the Mount Duncan car park on Ironcliffe Road, North Motton, this walk takes you past the peak of Mount Duncan. Wind your way through beautiful forest and along rocky outcrops to the top of Mount Duncan, the tallest peak in the Dial Range. Reaching the summit will reward you with panoramic views over the Dial Range, the surrounding farmland and towards the towns along the coast. The climb to the top is quite steep and may be slippery after rain. Some sections of the trail aren't well-defined, mainly on the south side of the mountain, and there is a rope to assist walkers along the western rocky outcrop. The road to the Mount Duncan car park is muddy and only accessible with a 4WD. You can also start from the more accessible Mount Gnomon car park, which makes the walk significantly longer. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Mount Gnomon and Mount Dial

1 h 30 min to 2 h

Starting from the Mount Gnomon car park on Ironcliffe Road, Penguin, this walk takes you past Mount Gnomon and Mount Dial. Enjoy a pleasant walk that weaves through a tall eucalypt forest, taking in two low peaks in the Dial Range. After a short but steep climb up Mount Gnomon, you'll emerge at the edge of a cliff with excellent views towards Mount Duncan and the cities of Ulverstone and Devonport. The trail continues along the ridge towards the exposed cliff of Mount Dial, ending with a short boulder scramble that rewards you with views over the surrounding farmland, the southern Dial Range and towards Mount Roland. Small native orchids can be spotted along the trail, particularly at higher elevations. Take care and supervise children near the unprotected cliff edges. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
