Closed area: Eastern Arthur range traverse – changes to access West Picton Road and Huon Track.
Applies from 21/12/2023
​West Picton Road (prior to Riveaux Creek) is closed due to the deterioration of three structures along the road.  A 15-20 vehicle parking area has been created adjacent to the new closure.  

Farmhouse Creek walking track requires an extra 7.1km (one-way) walk along West Picton Road from its closure prior to Picton River Tributary.

Mt Picton walking track requires an extra 7.2km (return) walk along West Picton Road and then West Picton Road Spur 1-2 from its closure prior to Picton River Tributary. 

The Huon Track has been heavily impacted by a large number of tree falls that are making this difficult to traverse and we recommend that you commence your walk at either Farmhouse Creek or Huon Campground. 

Both Farmhouse Creek and Mt Picton walking tracks remain open.​

6-7 hours return, 11km return
Grade 4: Bushwalking experience recommended. Tracks may be long, rough and very steep. Directional signage may be limited.
This walk requires a good level of fitness as it has a 900 metre elevation gain and the need to clamber over large boulders to reach the plateau.
A valid parks pass is required for entry to Tasmania's national parks.
At Frodshams Pass turn south onto the Scotts Peak Road and follow this for 20 km to the Condominium Creek car park.

About

Standing alongside the towering Mount Anne, the highest peak in Southwest Tasmania, the Eliza Plateau offers expansive views over the mountain ranges and lakes of Southwest National Park​. The track is well defined and low growing vegetation means that great views can be enjoyed for the duration of the climb. However the low vegetation also means there is little protection from the weather.

​​Just below the plateau, on a short side-track, is the small High Camp Hut. From here it is a challenging climb steeply uphill over large boulders. On reaching the Eliza Plateau walkers are rewarded with views of the Eastern and Western Arthur Ranges and directly below, Lake Judd. Rest and refuel amongst cushion plants and pandani​ before retracing your route. ​

Mount Anne Circuit: For highly experienced walkers wishing to undertake the remote multiday Mount Anne Circuit, limited numbers apply. Those wanting to complete the full circuit and camp at Shelf Camp and Lonely Tarns will need to register via the Overnight walker registration​ page. 

Day walkers planning go to Mount Eliza, Lake Judd or the very long day walk to Mount Anne do not need to register​.
