A range of accommodation could be provided from tent platforms with cooking shelters and public huts to premium, fully catered, privately operated lodges with bedding, food and wine, along with premium guiding and porter services.
L_Cham_67 wrote:So does that proposal head south from Queenstown via Mt Owen and the King River, or north towards the Tyndalls? Or is it both? Either I didn't read it very well, or the article isn't super clear. The link tastrax sent seems to indicate both, but that also includes a new track through Mt Jukes and Sorell.

Like NNW I'm suspecting their idea is closed to the average Jo Blow wanting to enjoy some solitude and Tasmania grandeur.
north-north-west wrote:It would certainly be more accessible and doable for people and at least keeps the hordes off the plateau. But using the Lake Spicer 4wd track and then cutting west over Walford to join that line gives a taste of the higher ground with possibly less impact and less new track needed.
Is it really that much bigger a climb than Ronny to Marions? Going up Tyndall via the current track never felt that long or hard.
Anthony Brown from Destination West Coast says feedback was most welcome and he too thought the route could do with some tweaking.
“I flew over the area for the first time yesterday and thought there could be some changes based on what I saw from the air,” Mr Brown said.
north-north-west wrote:"Spectacular" is why I like the idea of Walford/Sedgwick. Walford itself, while small, has stunning views over Huntley, Dora, Tyndalll plateau, towards the Eldons and the Sticht Range. There's a lot of open rock slab from there to Mary and past Peter and Paul up to Sedgwick, so there's less potential for damage while also giving easy enough walking. And from Sedgwick down past Adam and up too Sedgwick Bluff has equally marvellous views, particularly over Lyell.
When it's clear enough to see anything, that is. It's still not exactly an area conducive to blue skies.
Will dig out some photos to give an idea later.
