Maps for Lake Ina and Malbena

[johnrs]

Hi Folks
Could someone advise which of the 1:25k sheets cover these two lakes and the area NW of Ina??
I am resident in Sydney and cannot sight the sheets before purchase.
Also if known the contact details for the Land Conservancy to arrange access from the south.
I imagine it would be preferable to PM the contacts.

Help would be much appreciated
Thanks again
John

Also John ... you can access Lake Ina from Clarence Lagoon without having to go through the Skullbone Plain property (although you may want to check it out ... in which case PM me and I can give you a contact). There's a rough 4WD track from near the Clarence River at the Lyell Highway up to the dam on Clarence Lagoon. From there you can get to Lake Ina on foot entirely on public land. Then you walk north across country to Malbena, all on public land - mostly the Walls of Jerusalem NP, and entirely within the World Heritage Area. (Note that it's a fuel stove only area.)

cheers

John, I've done quite a few trips through the region, with a number of starting and finishing points. If you need advice please PM me.

It's also worth noting that you can access the 1:25000 map series through thelist.tas.gov.au. You can select and print the sections you need then get them laminated.

Cheers,

Thanks for the responses!
I am looking forward to visiting the plateau NW of Ina.

In terms of access
Would it be faster to walk up from the Lyell H'way via Clarence lagoon
rather than park before the bridge on the Nive river and walk across Gowenbrae??
Thanks again

Sorry John - as I haven't walked in from Gowan Brae, I can't answer that one with any certainty. But I suspect the Clarence Lagoon route may be shorter. I've heard that the Gowan Brae/Skullbone Plains track is closed to all vehicles since Tas Land Conservancy took over.

cheers
