About

​Dominating the southern part of Flinders Island, the Strzelecki Peaks—the highest part of the Strzelecki National Park—offer walkers amazing views over Bass Strait and as far as mainland Tasmania. The steep uphill walk starts at an elevation of 20m, and climbs through ferns, she-oak stands and wildflower heath before eventually topping out on 756m Mount Strzelecki. While the walk involves plenty of physical exertion, there is nothing technically difficult about it​. And the stunning views from this granite massif over the bays, beaches and islands are due reward for your 4-5 hours of walking.​
