A new adventure awaits in the Dial Range

The new Mount Montgomery to Mount Dial walking track is now complete, providing a unique visitor experience and showcasing the panoramic views of the area.

Minister for Parks, Nick Duigan, said the Tasmanian Government has invested $1.6 million into enhancing these walking tracks.

“This investment in the Dial Range Reserve offers a different walking experiences for visitors, it’s fantastic to see the first part of these works be delivered,” Minister Duigan said.

“Works commenced on the loop walking track earlier this year as part of the strategic management and improvement of walking tracks in the Dial Range.

“The new loop walking track includes two kilometres of new tracks with a 15-metre aluminium truss bridge over Keddies Creek.

“Existing track sections were aligned to create the loop that now allows for greater separation from the mountain bikes. Signage is being installed to show directions for visitors.

“Our Government is delivering for Tasmania by investing in our walking attractions for locals and visitors alike.”

Central Coast Council Mayor, Cheryl Fuller, welcomed the continued investment in the Dial Range.

“There has been strong partnership between Parks and Wildlife, Council and the community through the Dial Range Reference Group,” Mayor Fuller said.

The new loop track is a fantastic addition to a landscape of such great value to our region and the people who enjoy it.”

Progress continues on the new all-access boardwalk along McBrides Creek in the Ferndene State Reserve, another component of the Dial Range Reserves walking track upgrades. All components of the project are expected to be completed by 2028.

Walkers should always be prepared before undertaking a walk in Tasmania’s parks, including checking conditions, having appropriate equipment, letting someone know your plans before you go and being flexible if weather conditions change.
