Quamby Bluff is a challenging but extremely rewarding short walk involving a great deal of climbing. Because of this, it is recommended that the trail is only attempted on clear days as the alpine weather at the summit can easily turn bad on wetterdays. Once above the forest canopy, the trail continues up the western rock face towards the summit, passing the rugged alpine flora. As you climb, views of the outstanding Great Western Tiers begin to present themselves to your left. From the top the trail continues 500m further through beautiful alpine gardens to the north-eastern face of Quamby Bluff. From here 360-degree views are achieved including the impressive Deception Bluff to the east. On clear days Devonport and the Bass Straight can be spotted in the distance to the north. Return via the same route.
