The track to the summit of Mount Brown is steep with the view from the top well worth the effort. Gazing out over the blue ocean in clear weather you’ll have spectacular views of Cape Raoul, Cape Pillar and Tasman Island.
The longer you sit back and enjoy the view, the greater your chance will be to see feeding albatross, dolphins and migratory whales. This patch of wildly changing water forms some of the most treacherous sections of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race.
Start this walk from the Remarkable Caves car park and head along the Maingon Blowhole Track.
The track winds along the coast from Maingon Blowhole for another 1-2 hours until you will reach a junction. From here either turn north-east to towards Crescent Bay or continue south to climb Mount Brown. The main track stops about half way up to the summit.
If you are keen to reach the trig point at the top, the ascending track toward the summmit is quite steep and requires some clambering over rocks. This part of the track is recommended for moderately fit walkers.
Return to the car park via the same track.
