Signboards are only at forks in the trail. My first time up here (May 2022) n had to fall back on my trusty handphone app to move about. Good place to hike, catch some fresh air and see wild animals like lizards n wallabies. Location is ideal for folks coming from neighbouring areas like West Hobart, Lenah Valley, New Town and Moonah. Was the hike challenging? Depends on your fitness level but gradients are gentle to moderate and ideal for trail runners n cyclists. Three days later, I am starting my hike from Poets Road n going to the summit using Glover Track and Southern Summit Fire Trail. Temperature 5C brrr... but should warm up soon enough.

Views were not as scenic as the Mount Stuart lookout but it was a great hike. Forks are well marked with directions. I saw lots of wallabies!! I already made the trek up to the Mount Stuart lookout from the CBD so the extra 1.5km wasn't too bad! Much less steep than the CBD to Mount Stuart. There are some stone stairs on this trail. There was one maybe questionable turn off with a bench, but there's nothing beyond the bench so it was obvious to go right (trail) instead of left (bench)

A terrific piece of bushland that connects to Mt Wellington. The loop walk gives you wonderful views of the mountain, the river, and the northern suburbs. Remember to keep your dogs on-leash unless you’re in the off-leash area to protect the native animals.

Awesome bushland right in the centre of Hobart, packed with walking and mountain biking trails. Knocklofty is also a great place to watch a sunrise or moonrise over Hobart.

A beautiful place to spend your time, full of Australian wildlife and plants. Good for walking and seeing the views.

Great spot for seeing wallabies and birds. I go there for some me time photographing the many species of bird life.
