One of the best day walks in Tasmania, the Tarn Shelf Circuit explores the alpine section of Mount Field National Park. Starting at Lake Dobson, the trail initially passes through dryer Eucalypt forest before rising to Twilight Tarn and following the incredibly beautiful Tarn Shelf from Lake Newdegate to Rodway Hut. With spectacular glacier-carved tarns, lakes and valleys, this is a truly great all day adventure in the Tasmanian Wilderness

Rated by most hikers as moderate to hard there are no major climbs but some areas that are very rocky and can get rather muddy after heavy rain.

Meeting and Transport:
We will meet at the main carpark at Salamanca Place at 7:30am for a 7:45 departure via mini van (unless you have your own transport) to the starting point of the hike at Lake Dobson Carpark

The drive will take us just under 2 hours in time to start on the track by 9:45am.

Note: The weather in this NP is famous for its unpredictable nature and can quickly change. So please make sure you are prepared for sudden changes in temperature and conditions including wet, muddy tracks.
