Arm River Track to Pelion Plains and Mt Ossa

Two Senior Walkers Posted on 2006-04-06 The Approach It was a the spur of the moment - day before - decision to go. The weather forecast for the north was good. Our goal was to climb Mt Ossa and return in one day. In and out along the Arm River Track, a distance of 38 kilometers. At 7:40pm the night before, we packed and left Hobart. We drove north, non-stop, to Mole Creek. From here we followed the signs and arrived at the Arm River Track car park at about 11pm. Sleeping in the back of the station wagon we had a surprisingly good sleep under a brilliant starry night. Arm River Track to Pelion Hut Day break saw the skies clear and the temperature a cool 3°. We started walking at 7.30am. At the start, the track climbs steeply for about 40 minutes. The rest of the walk to Pelion Plains is relatively flat. The scenery and terrain is varying, making for a pleasant walk. There has been quite a bit of work done on the track. Raised long timber boards have been installed over long section

Mt Weld in a Day

Stuart Bowling Peak: Mt. Weld Height: 1345m Maps: 1:100k – Huon; 1:25k – Weld Ref: 654384 Distance: 14km. Points: 4 Starting point: South Weld Road (712374). Date: Saturday 28th February 2009. Time to summit & return: 10 hours (including lunch & rests). Party members: Stuart Bowling, Jeramie Spong. Mt. Weld is one of the more prominent and recognisable ranges in the south of the state, the summit proper capping the northern end of the impressive 8km long Weld Ridge. To the north of here lay the green valleys of the Weld River and the Jubilee Range, to the west the Gallagher Plateau & Anne ranges, to the south the Huon River valley and to the south east and east the unfortunate scars of extensive logging operations for which the name Weld is so recognisable to the public at large. I had been intrigued with the idea of attempting Mt. Weld in a day for over a year, old Tasmanian Tramp articles like Phil Robinson and partners impressive success in a weekend from Red
