Trowutta Arch

Directions - Located half an hour south of Smithton on the Tarkine Drive, take Trowutta Road south and follow this until you reach Reids Road. Turn left and then an almost immediate right onto Reynolds Road, following the signs through the farmland until you reach the left turn for Gun Road. Follow this until you find a car park and Trowutta Arch sign just after entering the forest.

The Hike - The final walk of our day out in the Tarkine, Trowutta Arch was the one I was most looking forward to given the photos I had seen online. In an area filled with amazing fungi filled forest, the main touristy walks are mostly centred around the geological features of this part of Tasmania. Our previous stop had been at Lake Chisholm, a sinkhole that has been blocked to form a lake and we would continue the theme of interesting geology with a visit to this natural wonder.
