Strzelecki Peaks Great Short Walk

The Strzelecki Peaks Great Short Walk is a 4-5 hour return walk located in Strzelecki National Park on Flinders Island.

It takes visitors to the top of the 756m granite mountain, which was formed approximately 370 million years ago during a major continental collision in eastern Australia.

From the summit, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views, including a clear view of mainland Tasmania on a clear day. It is important to note that the summit can be cold and windy, so appropriate clothing is recommended. The nearest facilities are located 3.5km away at Trousers Point, which includes toilets, drinking water, free gas barbecues, picnic tables, and campsites.

The Strzelecki Peaks Great Short Walk is accessible year-round, but it is advisable to check the weather forecast before finalizing travel plans. Park entry fees of $24 per vehicle apply and can be paid at Service Tasmania in Whitemark. The starting point for the walk is at an elevation of 20m and is classified as a Level 4 walk, which means it is a steep uphill walk that requires physical exertion. Visitors should sign the register at the base of the summit for their personal safety and should not attempt the walk on Total Fire Ban days.

The Strzelecki Peaks Great Short Walk is known as one of Tassie's Great Short Walks, offering stunning views of mainland Tasmania. It is a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts. For more information, the free 60 Great Short Walks app is available for download on iTunes.
