Oldgrowth and Rainforest, Sub alpine heathland, a mountaintop and small waterfall. This track is well constructed and zig zags through the sometimes steep terrain. Most people with a moderate level of fitness will complete this walk in around 3-4 hours including breaks. Beginning at the car park at Huon Bush Retreats, the track climbs gently for about 15 minutes through young and old-growth forest to the rainforest viewing platform. A further 45 minutes steep climb up the escarpment cliffs takes you onto the sub-alpine heathland plateau and "Flat Rock". From here you can enjoy spectacular 360 degree views towards Bruny Island and the Southwest World Heritage Area. From Flat Rock it is a further 30 - 45 minutes along the plateau to Mt Misery summit. Return with optional side track to a small waterfall. Access to walking tracks is covered by your tariff if you are an overnight guest.
