Short walk through swampy teatree, climbing up to exposed rocky goat path to summit and surrounds. There is good water halfway up and at the plateau the track branches off. Take the left path to the summit, the last 500m is unmarked and offers some rock scrambling and pushing through low bushes. The right leads to hilltop lakes, a cave for overnight camping and a great view of the ampetheatre lake Huntley
Panoramic views of the west coast all the way from Queenstown to Rosebery and ocean beach await the climber on this steep, rocky goat-track
10 minute drive out of Waratah towards Savage River. It’s a magical walk that took about an hour to stroll with plenty of photo opportunities. About 200 stairs to the falls viewing platform. Such a beautiful walk, well worth the drive to Waratah.
A pretty walk up through a valley, past an old town water supply dam, following fire roads and up goat tracks to an old pine grove nestled in the bend of a creek
A walk up Spion Kop in Queenstown. Has some good informative history signs at the top and some nice views of town.
A relatively short ( 1hr return ) walk through one of the local state forest to a historic hut in the forest.
Steep fire road to start of walk rewards you with a level stroll through the Forrest alongside an old mine water-race, crossing a few rivulets there are side tracks Or old timber bridges for the brave. The last 200m involves some sketchy bush bashing but terminates in an old concrete dam and swimming hole
This hill first served as the Harbour Master’s signal point for shipping. Local militia units established the gun batteries and built the concrete fortifications that were completed in 1887. The bluestone powder magazine was built in 1860 to store explosives used in the construction of the river wall.
