Peninsula Walks Map

An essential wilderness map for planning and navigating the demanding journey to one of southwest Tasmania’s most commanding summits.

The Mount Anne Walk Map provides detailed topographic coverage of Mount Anne and its dramatic setting within Southwest National Park and the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. Rising to 1,423 metres, Mount Anne is the highest peak in southwest Tasmania and dominates the rugged landscape surrounding Lake Pedder.

At 1:40,000 scale, 1 centimetre on the map represents 400 metres on the ground. This specialised scale provides a useful balance of detailed terrain interpretation and practical coverage for route planning in remote mountain country.

Mount Anne is a difficult wilderness objective that demands fitness, preparation and sound navigation skills. For experienced walkers who undertake the journey in suitable conditions, the mountain offers an unforgettable alpine experience and expansive views across Tasmania’s southwest wilderness.

🥾 A Demanding Wilderness Walk

Mount Anne is a serious and physically demanding objective in remote alpine country. Its steep, rugged terrain makes careful planning and confident map reading especially important.

A printed topographic map can help walkers:

• Visualise changes in elevation and steepness before departure

• Understand the relationship between the summit, surrounding ridges and Lake Pedder

• Identify major terrain and drainage features

• Maintain geographic awareness when visibility deteriorates

• Carry an independent navigation reference that does not rely on batteries or reception

This map should be used alongside a compass, suitable navigation skills and other appropriate safety equipment.

🧭 Who Uses This Map?

The Mount Anne Walk Map is suitable for:

• Experienced bushwalkers and hikers preparing for the Mount Anne walk

• Climbers and alpine adventurers studying the surrounding terrain

• Outdoor guides and wilderness leaders planning trips in Southwest National Park

• Search and rescue teams and emergency services requiring a detailed printed reference

• Park, conservation and environmental workers undertaking field activities

• Outdoor educators and navigation students developing terrain-reading skills

• Photographers and wilderness enthusiasts researching the Mount Anne and Lake Pedder landscape

⚠️ Remote-Area Safety

Mount Anne lies in remote, exposed country where conditions can change rapidly. Strong winds, rain, low cloud, cold temperatures, sleet, snow and intense sun may all affect travel in Tasmania’s southwest.

Before setting out:

• Check current park alerts, access information and weather forecasts

• Ensure the route is appropriate for your experience, fitness and equipment

• Carry this map with a compass and know how to use them

• Take suitable clothing, shelter, food and water

• Carry an appropriate emergency communication device, such as a personal locator beacon

• Leave a detailed trip plan with a responsible person

• Be prepared to change plans or turn back if conditions deteriorate

A map is an essential navigation aid, but it does not replace current official advice, appropriate equipment or sound wilderness judgement.
