🏔️ Western Arthurs Traverse
Regarded as one of the most demanding and awe-inspiring hikes in Australia, the Western Arthurs Traverse is a true test of endurance, navigation, and alpine skill. Located in the Southwest National Park, this 79 km Grade 5 circuit takes 9–10 days to complete and winds through a dramatic landscape of jagged quartzite peaks, glacial lakes, and narrow ridgelines.
- Start/End: Huon Campground
- Highlights: Lake Oberon, Mount Hesperus, and the razorback ridgelines of the Arthur Range
- Challenges: Steep ascents, rock scrambling, exposed sections, and rapidly changing weather
- Best for: Highly experienced hikers with strong navigation and wilderness survival skills
This traverse is not for the faint-hearted, but for those prepared, it offers a raw and unforgettable immersion into Tasmania’s wildest terrain.
⛰️ Mount Anne Circuit
Encircling the glacial waters of Lake Judd, the Mount Anne Circuit is a rugged and exhilarating loop that showcases the highest peak in Tasmania’s southwest. This 26 km Grade 5 hike typically takes 3–4 days, with steep climbs, exposed ridgelines, and boulder-strewn plateaus.
- Start/End: Condominium Creek Carpark
- Summit: Mount Anne (1,423 m) – the highest in the region
- Terrain: Alpine moorlands, dolerite cliffs, and ancient Gondwanan vegetation
- Facilities: High Camp Memorial Hut, Shelf Camp, and Lonely Tarns (basic facilities)
The final ascent to Mount Anne involves serious scrambling and exposure, making it suitable only for confident and capable hikers. But the reward? Sweeping views over Lake Pedder, Frenchmans Cap, and the remote wilderness beyond.
Both of these hikes are bucket-list adventures for seasoned bushwalkers seeking Tasmania’s most dramatic and remote landscapes.
