Tasmania’s Central Highlands
Crossing over the Du Cane Range from Mount Gould through the Labyrinth. In 2016, when I walked the Overland Track, I have tried to get to the Pine Valley through the Mount Gould. But after summiting the mountain I was not able to find the way on the other side down, due to thick fog and snow conditions. This time I came to Tasmania to do a different walk in the Southwest, but due to the bushfiers I was not able to get to the area, so I decided to come back to the Central Highlands. This time I reached the Gould Plateau from the south end of Lake St Clair. From there, though the summit of Mount Gould, the Minotaur and the Labyrinth I get to the top of mount Geryon where I was waiting for two days for a window good weather to walk the ridge of the Du Cane Range. Walking the ridge is a lot of fun if you like boulder hopping. The views are just as good as they can get. Both Cradle Mountain to the north and Lake St Clair to the south are visible. To get back, I used the Overland track. There where no trail other than in Labyrith on this route, however there are some cairns at the major passes to guide you.
