Starting from the car park in front of The Signal Station (cafe), Mount Nelson, this return journey gives you a taste of Truganini Conservation Area via a singular track. A captivating journey that begins with a picturesque 1-kilometre stretch alongside the tranquil Cartwright Creek, the track weaves through enchanting wet sclerophyll forest. As the track ascends towards the upper reaches of Cartwright Creek Gully, the landscape transitions into a dry sclerophyll forest, offering glimpses of the majestic Derwent Valley amidst towering blue gums and tea trees. Pause to pay homage to the Truganini Memorial along a brief sidetrack before reaching the summit adorned by the historic Mt Nelson Signal Station. From this vantage point, breathtaking panoramic vistas unfold, stretching eastward towards the Tasman Peninsula and South Arm, southward to Betsy and Bruny islands, and framing Hobart to the north in a picturesque tableau. There is ample parking available. Be prepared for muddy conditions in the lower section, particularly after periods of wet weather. 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.
