Ha! "Walking Track." More like Mt Amos boulder-scrambling track, or Mt Amos sheer-granite-incline-hugging track. To call this a hike is downplaying it. But trust me on this: if you have limited time but an unlimited thirst for adventure, choose Mt Amos. There are quite a few hikes you can take within Freycinet National Park, and I'm certainly not an expert as I only did a handful, but Mt Amos stood so far and above the other hikes that it's worth a Yelp review of its own. Not for the faint hearted, there were many times that I couldn't believe I wasn't strapped into a harness because the grade was so steep and slippery. But the challenge getting to the top make the views all the sweeter. And sweet they are: you have a 360 panoramic of the entire bay - it's completely mind blowing. Top tips: plan for much longer than 3-hours. We felt rushed and did it in 4. Wear shoes that have solid grip on the bottom. And don't do your nails beforehand - they're about to get destroyed. Enjoy every second, you'll be thinking about the view from the top for the rest of your life. read more

Parks and Wildlife are an embarrassment to me as a Tasmanian. Poor customer service at every turn apart from friendly enough counter staff etc who have no say in wider policy (and often no clue). read more
