Cape Surville

Saturday 7th May 2011

Cape Surville
The start of the walk is in Richardsons Road, Murdunna on the Tasman Peninsula. Turn off the A9 into Hylands Road at Murdunna and follow this until it becomes Richardsons Road and drive along this until an obvious parking area is reached at 577450 5245982. If the gate is open it is possible to drive further along and park near the start of the track.
The gate was open so I drove further up the road until it deteriorated, and, as I was in a conventional vehicle, I found a place to park before it became too bad.
I set off walking up the road and soon found the start of the track on the right. The track was easy to follow and after a few ups and downs I reached Cape Surville where there were some great coastal views.

After checking out the views I returned the same way to the road and then walked to the end of the road just to check out what was there. It was quite high but the views were limited. I then returned to the car.
A good short walk with nice coastal scenery.
Distance: 5.7 kms. ( depending where one starts)
Time: 2'13"
Ascent: 430 metres

    1. The cliffs are steep but if you are experienced in rock climbing there is a way down via Chasm Creek. See this article http://marceljackson.ltumathstats.com/coastal-traversing/chasm-creek-to-deep-glen-bay It does sound a bit tricky.
