Dove Lake Circuit

5.8 km circuit

2 h to 3 h

Starting from the car park at the end of Dove Lake Road, Cradle Mountain-Lake Saint Clair National Park, this walk takes you around Dove Lake. This popular walk follows the perimeter of a glacially carved lake at the foot of Cradle Mountain, with excellent views of the surrounding peaks. Along the way you'll pass Glacier Rock Lookout, Ballroom Forest and the picturesque Dove Lake Boatshed. The trail is relatively flat and straightforward, consisting mainly of boardwalks, with some steep and rocky sections. The clockwise option involves climbing many steps towards the end. Due to its relatively lower altitude, this walk is usually a safer option when it's very windy and rainy at higher altitudes. Be prepared for strong winds, heavy rain, snow and very cold temperatures.

Quamby Bluff

6.2 km return

3 h to 4 h

Starting from the car park on Highland Lakes Road, Golden Valley, this walk takes you to Quamby Bluff. The first section passes through farmland, with Quamby Bluff towering at 1228m, clearly visible above the treeline. The trail enters myrtle beech forest and climbs gently at first, getting gradually steeper before reaching a large rock spree. After a steep scramble about halfway up the boulder field, the trail re-enters the forest. The last stretch climbs steeply up the western rock face, ending in alpine heath on the summit plateau, which offers panoramic views of Northern Tasmania, including the Great Western Tiers and the Central Plateau. On a clear day, Devonport and the Bass Straight can be seen to the north. This is a challenging but rewarding walk that involves lots of climbing and some rock scrambling, which can be difficult in icy and snowy conditions. The trail may be hard to follow at times, so keep an eye out for markers on the trees.

Meander Falls and Split Rock Circuit

7.8 km circuit

6 h to 7 h

Meander Falls and Split Rock Circuit

Starting from the carpark area at the end of Meander Falls Road, Meander Forest Reserve, this walk takes you on a circuit past Meander Falls and Split Rock Falls, via the Meander Falls and Split Rock Falls tracks. Located in the heart of the Great Western Tiers is Meander Falls, a large waterfall in the alpine regions of the Meander River that drops 130 metres over two tiers. Following the river upstream, the walk takes in a wide range of vegetation types as you climb through ancient temperate rainforest and up into the sub-alpine Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. Return via the signposted Split Rock Track that descends and crosses the Meander River before traversing a large scree field, passing by a number of picturesque waterfalls. The track is quite rocky with lots of tree roots, uneven terrain and steep sections. During winter months there can be snow and mud on the track, and sections of the falls can freeze and form large icicles. Walkers should be prepared for changing weather conditions at higher elevations, but will be rewarded with stunning views along the length of the track. 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.

10 h, 3 days to 4 days

Snowshoe

Starting near Lake Rowallan, from the car park at the end of Fish River Road, Walls of Jerusalem National Park, this walk leads to the summit of Mount Jerusalem via the Mount Jerusalem Track. Most walkers take 3-4 days to explore the Walls of Jerusalem, using Wild Dog Creek campsite as a base. This site has tent platforms, toilets and running water. To reach the campsite, which is on the alpine plateau, requires some initial effort. From Wild Dog Creek, walking tracks lead through Herods Gate into the interior Walls, passing Lake Salome and the Pool of Bethesda before reaching the imposing Damascus Gate. Optional side tracks lead to Solomon’s Throne and The Temple. Continue your walk through the pencil pine forest to reach Dixons Kingdom. After passing a small alpine lake, the final ascent to Mount Jerusalem zigzags up the rocky slope. Much of the walking track consists of the raised boardwalk, from Wild Dog Creek through to Dixons Kingdom, to protect the fragile alpine vegetation. Walkers are requested to stay on the formed walking tracks at all times, both for their safety and to protect the sensitive alpine region.
