Getting there

From Western Creek head for Westrope Road ( your Sat Nav will locate this unsealed rd) . Follow through the state forest till you see the signs indicated to take road on the left,  a steep rooad will lead you to the car park.  Sign is then easy to spot to mark the start of the track.

Route/Trail notes

The first 1km of the track is steep , rough and plenty of boulders to scramble over. This lead to Western Creek waterfall which is tricky to cross ( steel rope attached to aid but take care one wrong slip and it's down the fall you go ) follow track to the top. There it becomes a plateau, you wil walk past Whitley's Hut to the saddle below Mt ironstone where the track ends.

Permits/Costs

Tasmania does have some charges for some parks ( I head a 2 month park pass allowing me to access various but do check )
