Recommendations for one or two night walk south-west

Postby Ground parrot » Mon 18 Nov, 2024 1:47 pm

Does anyone have any recommendations for a one (or possibly two) night walk in the south west direction? My partner and I will be staying a night in Maydena, probably walking the tarn shelf, and then looking for options for an overnighter (or two).

I'm thinking about Mt Sprent (normally a day trip, but can make the most of the summit) - although it will probably require a water carry. Not interested in Rhona as it will be too packed that time of year.

We are both experienced walking in Tas, willing to go off track but nothing too challenging to navigate. Off the beaten path is good.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Sprent may well have some water in soaks if it hasn't been too dry. (Too wet and the track becomes a waterfall, but at least you know there'll be water higher up.) There are yabby holes further along the Wilmot Range, at least. I can't remember if there are some on Sprent or not.

Lake Judd, if you want something easy, Mt Anne for something a bit more energetic.
