Starting just off Lake Dobson Road, Mount Field National Park, this walk takes you on a circuit via the Tall Trees Walk. The walk is on a well-constructed boardwalk throughout. There are plenty of informative signs along the way where you can learn more about the forest, and visitors have the opportunity to use a clinometer to calculate the height of these massive trees. Picnic facilities are located by the banks of the river, next to the Visitor Centre. 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.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
