Boardwalk through the Moor — Mount Field National Park

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This convenient boardwalk elevates you above the wet moorlands below and protects the delicate alpine plants that would otherwise get trodden on.

A great view from up here...when the sun is shining. Otherwise rather mystical but also beautiful.

Twilight Tarn and Twilight Tarn Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

This historic ski hut is a popular place for hikers to rest and get a taste of the past. This was the site of the first ski club in Tasmania and you can see plenty of artifacts left over from its 1930s heydey.
