Strzelecki Peaks Great Short Walk

Rising 756 metres above sea level, the dramatic granite peaks of Strzelecki National Park dominate southern Flinders Island. Formed around 370 million years ago, these ancient mountains offer one of Tasmania's most rewarding walks.

Part of Tasmania's Great Short Walks, the 4–5 hour return hike climbs steeply to the summit, rewarding walkers with breathtaking views across the Furneaux Islands and, on clear days, mainland Tasmania.

Walk details: Grade 4 | 4–5 hours return | Steep and physically demanding.

Conditions at the summit can be cold and windy. Wear suitable footwear, carry water and warm clothing, and sign the walker register before setting out. Do not attempt the walk on Total Fire Ban days.

Park entry fees apply. Passes are available through Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service.

The nearest facilities are at Trousers Point, approximately 3.5 kilometres away, including toilets, picnic areas, barbecues and camping.
