Five Day Mount Field Circuit
Highlights
- Explore the diverse flora in Mount Field National Park, experiencing Tasmania's rich biodiversity up close.
- Traverse the exhilarating Rodway Range, enjoying stunning views and dramatic glaciated landforms along the way.
- Wander through ancient pencil pines and cushion plants, immersing yourself in the park's unique alpine ecosystems.
- Descend the vibrant Urquart Track, surrounded by a riot of botanical beauty and breathtaking landscapes.
Mount Field National Park is one of Tasmania’s oldest national parks, established in 1916 with Freycinet NP, and is one of its most popular. This is partly because of its proximity to Hobart (94 km) but also because of its wide variety of flora, dramatic glaciated landforms and ready accessibility to most areas of the park.
This tour features examples of all of the park’s attractions including sub-alpine forests, stands of ancient pencil pines, the remarkable cushion plants, glacial moraines and block streams, alpine moorlands, exquisite small tarns and lakes, monolithic dolerite boulder fields, dramatic cliffs and peaks, and stunning views. It provides a wonderful introduction to Tasmania’s alpine regions and its flora and topography.
The tour is also characterised by the park’s multiple “personalities” – it starts in a sub-alpine forest along moraine-dammed lakes, and finishes with an exhilarating high altitude ridge-top traverse of the Rodway Range among the ice-shattered monolithic dolerite boulders of the “Lions Den” before descending the botanic “riot” of the Urquart Track to our finish.
