Track leads to the gorgeous Central Plateau with a challenging climb to Adams
Peak. The walk traverses both regrowth wet forest and alpine rainforest. While
the track was restored and cleared in 2014, much of the original 19th century
stonework – including an impressive, convict-built retaining wall near the
Plateau – still remains. Highlights on this botanically rich ascent include: a
picturesque, meandering creek with numerous small waterfalls, superb eucalypt-
and myrtle-dominated rainforest, alpine and sub-alpine species, and a stunning
array of wildflowers, when in seasonOn a clear day one can see far across the Plateau from Adams
Peak. Unusually, the idyllic view across the Jackeys Marsh valley is unspoiled
by power lines or other indications of modern life. Thus, it is probably little
changed from the vista enjoyed by 19th century walkers.
