NOTE 1 - The Rodway Range, Mt Field National Park

Lost & Found

Drive in any direction from Hobart and you quickly find yourself in beautiful rural country followed by pristine wilderness. Within one and a half hours drive and a short walk you can place yourself on a pristine beach, by cascading waterfalls, under tall trees in cold climate rainforest, on towering ocean cliffs or above the snow line.

If you prefer a more urban adventure, Hobart’s streets are lined with bars, cafes, eateries and galleries in a setting framed by kunanyi/Mt Wellington and the River Derwent, all within a short walk from your room. We have our favourites, let us show you.

MOUNT FIELD

NATURE WALK

NOTE 4.1 - Colours of Mt Field National Park

LICHEN GREEN

Just over an hour’s drive north of Hobart, through the beautiful river towns, hop fields and timber villages of New Norfolk, Glenora and Westerway lies Mount Field National Park. There are many attractions – easy walks to the three main waterfalls, the Tall Trees’ walk – a towering spectacle if ever there was – or a lunch at the visitor centre! The more adventurous can drive the extra 20 minutes up through the forest to Lake Dobson, for either a gentle circular lakeside walk or as a springboard to explore the Tarn Shelf and the Rodway Range or two Mount Field peaks.

NATURE WALKS


kunanyi / Mount Wellington NATURE WALK

kunanyi/Mt Wellington, is ever present in our life in Hobart, always setting the climate and often the mood of the day ahead. From dry woodlands to windswept summits, Wellington Park is threaded with tracks and trails. Shorter walks in the eastern foothills are well suited to a lighter walk, while exposed tracks extend beyond the summit of the mountain to wild and remote places. You must be prepared for all conditions on the mountain.

RUSSELL FALLS NATURE WALK

Just over an hour drive through the country leads you to Russell Falls in the Mt Field National Park. The tiered cascading waterfalls have been a tourist attraction for visitors to the state since the late 1800s and the park is nearly certain to be blanketed in snow in the Winter.
