Information
Located in Southwest National Park, and part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area (TWWHA), the Eastern Arthur Range Traverse challenges experienced walkers and rewards them with the celebrated Federation Peak (1225m). A mecca for walkers and climbers everywhere, Federation Peak is an imposing quartzite mountain with sheer faces and formidable jagged edges.
Walkers will have the opportunity to break up their journey through the alpine moorlands at one of several established campsites with tent platforms. What this walk lacks in facilities it certainly makes up with breathtaking views, solitude and challenging climbs and scrambles across quartzite, alpine heath and scrub.
This walk can commence from Huon Campground, ??Huon Track or Farmhouse Creek Track. Whatever route takes your fancy, ensure you have a physical copy of your map from TASMap?, as this area is remote and should only be undertaken by advanced, prepared ?walkers.?
