*Note – This walk includes some steep sections along an old 4WD track which can be wet & muddy
The track to the summit of Mount Donaldson starts a few kilometres from Corinna and follows an old four wheel drive track which gave access to Tasmania’s only diamond mine, abandoned long ago. Rainforest towers above you as the walk begins on the banks of the Savage River, gradually giving way to eucalypts before emerging onto the (often) windswept buttongrass moorland. The last 15 minutes to the summit can be difficult if it’s windy and the track is often more a creek than a path! BUT! The views from the summit (412m. above sea level) are spectacular and well worth the walk. The Pieman and Savage Rivers lie beneath, cutting through the ancient landscape towards the wild ocean in the distance….
