Found time to fit in an afternoon walk up St Valentines Peak on Saturday afternoon on our way to Burnie from Hobart.
The creek crossing was easy enough, about ankle deep across the log, the hand line coming in handy.
It would have been much deeper a couple days prior to this obviously.
The track could do with some trimming here & there as the bauera is tending to hang over sections, but easy enough to follow.
The ridge traverse across the top was fun, if a little cold & windy, but thankful to get some views from this peak.
4 hours return with my girlfriend in tow so estimated times for most people is pretty accurate, we only spent 15 mins on the top due to the cold wind.
The directions on the wiki link are accurate, I also googled kara road on goole maps which got us to the start of the walk with no dramas.
I really enjoyed this walk as did my girlfriend, one of those classic half day walks with all the trimmings
Some photos:
- Walk start signage.
- Crossing the first creek.
- The track follows a road for 700m then this sign indicates the resumption of the walking track (a little over exagerated in this description).
