The Blue Tier

This 'tin mountain' encapsulates the rich tin mining and pioneering history of the area, with its many walks and rides around the old mining sites.

Recent additions to the Blue Tier  have included the upgrading of 27 km of walking trails. Two of the trails have been upgraded for mountain bikes including an 8 km loop and a 14 km one-way descent into the neighbouring village of Weldborough. The many walking tracks include the easy (wheel chair friendly) 20 minute Goblin Forest Walk and the slightly more challenging 4.5 km Australia Hill Circuit featuring spectacular views east to the Tasman Sea.

The mountain bike tracks provide challenges for riders of all standards and are developing a reputation as one of the must-do rides in Tasmania. The walks provide access to beautiful areas of rainforest, historic mining sites and spectacular lookouts across the north-east and east to the coast

New interpretation has been added to several sites to add to the visitor experience and explains more about the rich mining and natural heritage of the area. Don't miss a visit to the nearby Anchor Stampers or Halls Falls.

Visitor information is available from the Forest EcoCentre in Scottsdale and the St Helens History and Visitor Information Centre.
