Stacks Bluff

Stacks Bluff (1527 m) is the ninth highest mountain in Tasmania. It's located on the southern end of Ben Lomond National Park, the track starts at a forestry road above the old mining town named Storys Creek.

Take the first left after entering Strory's Creek from the west, from the car park walk up the track, there's a post with Stacks Bluff written on it.

This walk is difficult and should take 6 hours (with return).
