Today we will enjoy a sumptuous breakfast at the Lodge before setting off to conquer another of Tasmania’s prominent peaks - Mt Roland. This mountain played an integral part in the original vision of the Cradle Mountain area becoming a National Park. Starting in the deeply scented Eucalyptus forests at the mountains base we encounter a variety of gradients on our upwards journey, on the climb up we view some waterfalls and a variety changing vegetation types before ascending the expansive plateau atop the massif. This huge rugged mountain is one of the state’s most rewarding walks and provides 360 degree views of the Bass Strait and back to Cradle Mountain and the imposing Barn Bluff. We will enjoy the beauty of the summit and a track lunch before descending back to Gowrie Park. If weather is inclement we can choose from a selection of wonderful rainforest walks and waterfalls in the Lemonthyme Valley. Late afternoon we will travel back to Launceston accommodation and tonight we celebrate the achievement of the our challenge and farewell our guides and Tasmania. Walking Time 6 hours
