I was pushing my luck as we had all ready had a number of stops and short walks on our way from Strahan to Hobart. There is so much too see and explore in this part of the world. I didn’t really think we had enough time to double back from Hobart and I had heard so much about this place. So luckily one of the shortest walks in the park was pretty spectacular and we could just squeeze it in to our day of travelling.

Mount Field National Park is about 1 and half hours west of Hobart.

So tempting to add a few more tracks in from here but we still needed to make it to Hobart. I would really recommend staying nearby and checking a lot more of this place out.

The grade 1 track would have made for a good run!
