Starting from the car park on Highland Lakes Road, Golden Valley, this walk takes you to Quamby Bluff. The first section passes through farmland, with Quamby Bluff towering at 1228m, clearly visible above the treeline. The trail enters myrtle beech forest and climbs gently at first, getting gradually steeper before reaching a large rock spree. After a steep scramble about halfway up the boulder field, the trail re-enters the forest. The last stretch climbs steeply up the western rock face, ending in alpine heath on the summit plateau, which offers panoramic views of Northern Tasmania, including the Great Western Tiers and the Central Plateau. On a clear day, Devonport and the Bass Straight can be seen to the north. This is a challenging but rewarding walk that involves lots of climbing and some rock scrambling, which can be difficult in icy and snowy conditions. The trail may be hard to follow at times, so keep an eye out for markers on the trees. 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.
