Not Buckland. You're still too far south.

Based on the the clues I suspect this might be somewhere on the Tasmanian Trail. Given the length of it though I'm not even sure where to begin.

The clue does suggest the Tasmania Bike Trail - maybe near the Alum Cliffs?

Tasmanian Trail, yes. I was hoping someone on the forum had walked this particular sectioon as it's surprisingly pleasant but it would seem not. Though there aren't that many bits that are on old, narrow tracks like this.
This is from the Poatina Rd bypass, which runs from just below Mt Blackwood down to Parsons Creek (near Bracknell).
Throwing it open to whomever gets in first with a photo.

Unusually I did get Tasmanian Trail before eggs so I'll jump in. From my limited phone images:

Thank you.
What beautiful (I think because, as you can see, there wasn't much of a view) place was I this lovely day?

Denison?
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.

I am in the Arthurs.
I am not on the side of Hesperus.
I couldn't even see the side of Hesperus from where I was standing.

I'm thinking you're looking at Mt Picked On so you'd be somewhere in the Eastern Arthurs. Boiler Plates?

Good theory,
That is Mounty Picked-On, but I'm not on the Boiler plates. (Nor in the EA's)
Fixed typo.

Whoopies, typo, I'm not in the Eastern Arthurs.
I not at sirona, but there is a planetary lake just over the ridge on the right, about 300m from me.
