Mt Arthur

A winter trip to Mt Arthur , just outside Launceston . Note some old guide books have the start of this track at
Mountain Road just as you approach Lilydale . This is incorrect , it's the road before that , and is signposted.

Did you go via Whites Mill Road/Blythe Spur? The track off Mountain Road as shown in guide books and LISTmap was still there (and very well marked and easy to follow :) ) when I last went a few months ago .

There are at least two routes up, with the tracks joining not far above the hut site.
