> REDUCE YOUR IMPACTS

• Ensure equipment (footwear especially) is clean upon entering the Park to prevent the spread of weeds and plant diseases.

• Use toilets provided when possible. If there are no toilets, walk 100m away from any water and the track and dig a 15cm hole. Bury any waste and toilet paper.

• More information on minimal impact bush recreation can be found at wellingtonpark.org.au/minimal-impact or on the ‘Leave No Trace’ page at parks.tas.gov.au

> SHARING THE TRACKS

Be aware that some tracks are shared use for walking and bike riding. Check track signage and obey the Track Users Code. Read the full Code at: wellingtonpark.org.au/bikes/

Bicycles are permitted on roads, most fire trails, and selected tracks. Refer to the map and signage. Please report any illegal track use e.g. trail bikes, to the Ranger on 0408 517 534.

WELL INGTON PARK INFORMAT ION

The extensive network of tracks on the eastern face of kunanyi / Mount Wellington provides a range of walking opportunities.

The table below presents 6 walks of varying difficulty with colour coded lines on the map inside. Choose a route to suit your ability. Visitors can also obtain walking information from the Lost Freight café at The Springs, or plan their activity online at greaterhobarttrails.com.au. Most tracks in the Park are well marked and easy to follow; however, some tracks

> CHOOSE THE RIGHT ROUTE are rough and sometimes wet under foot. Navigation skills may be required on some remote and higher altitude routes, especially during poor visibility. On longer walks visitors should carry the Wellington Park Recreation Map, published by TasMap and available for purchase in digital or paper form. The Recreation Map shows all walking tracks and fire trails, and includes valuable information about the whole Park.

> SAFETY IN WELLINGTON PARK

Be prepared and stay safe

Ensure you are well prepared for the walk you choose.

Detailed walk information is available at: wellingtonpark.org.au/bushwalking/

Check the weather at: bom.gov.au/tas/forecasts/mtwellington.shtml

Conditions can change quickly. Icy winds, snow, low cloud and heavy rain can occur at any time of year. Temperature drops 1 degree for every 100m you climb.

On longer and higher altitude walks you must have adequate clothing. Do not attempt walks in snow conditions or poor visibility unless you are very experienced, well prepared, and in the company of others. Low cloud can reduce your visibility to a few metres. All tracks can be slippery when covered in snow and ice. Be prepared to turn back.

Track Users CodeRemember the 3 respects:

• Expect walkers, riders, runners, dogs and wildlife. • Listen and look out for each other.• Give way to slower track users. • Be cautious near corners and blind spots.• Be mindful of vulnerable track users with different levels

of mobility, vision and hearing, particularly the elderly and the very young.

• Keep devices and headphones at low volume.
