National Park unfolds across a dramatic sweep of Tasmania’s interior, a landscape carved by ancient rivers and cloaked in resilient eucalypt forests. It lies 53.2 km west-north-west of Hobart, TAS (from Hobart, TAS: bearing 291°T), and is situated 28.7 km west-north-west of New Norfolk. Here, granite peaks, softened by millennia of wind and rain, guard valleys where ferns unfurl in damp, shadowed gullies. The air, crisp and carrying the scent of damp earth and gum leaves, often holds a profound stillness, broken only by the occasional call of a currawong or the murmur of water over stones. Sunlight, when it breaks through the canopy, paints fleeting patterns on the moss-covered rocks, lending a transient, almost ethereal quality to the scene.
This wild expanse of National Park holds echoes of a past shaped by resourcefulness and resilience. For generations, Indigenous peoples traversed these lands, their intimate knowledge of its bounty woven into the very fabric of their existence. Later, the allure of minerals drew prospectors, and the whisper of gold can still be imagined in the glint of quartz veins exposed by erosion. The local economy, now largely sustained by the steady flow of visitors drawn to its natural grandeur, also retains a connection to its pastoral roots, with hardy sheep grazing on higher, more open slopes. The Lyell Highway, a vital artery, threads through the park, a testament to the enduring human desire to connect with and traverse these magnificent, untamed territories.
