walking tracks in Tasmania

Tinderbox Hills Walking Track

 
Under 2 hours return – 3.6 km return

The Tinderbox Hills walking track begins at the end of Estuary Drive, Blackmans Bay, where there is parking for a few vehicles. This is an easy, mainly uphill walk on a well formed track that is rocky underfoot in a few places. There are views to the east over the Derwent River and Storm Bay and also to the west over North West Bay.

The end of the public track is signposted and the track continues on through private land, where there are small “Keep off Private Property” warning signs attached high on trees either side of the track. Turn back at the signs and return along the same route.
