The route followed by today's Alum Cliffs Track has long been a coastal path used by local people. In 1988 it was formally developed as part of Australia's Bicentennial celebrations. In more recent years, Council has upgraded the southern section of the track, which climbs from Tyndall Beach through coastal blue gum forest with tall silver banksias. The track then winds up through silver peppermint bushland, dips into a glorious fern-filled gully, before rising again onto headlands for commanding views over Storm Bay and the Derwent Estuary. In 2016 Council completed the extension of the track from the historic Shot Tower to Wandella Avenue which then links in to the Taroona Foreshore Tracks if you wish to do a more extended walk.
The track provides an 8 km return trip, and the beginning of the track provides toilets, picnic facilities and parking with nearby Cafes at Kingston Beach. The track connects with the Brickfields Track and also can be linked with the Boronia Beach Track via a short stroll along Kingston Beach.

Take a stroll around Amy Street Community Park, on the edge of Barossa Hill with a stunning view overlooking the city towards the Derwent. This track is paved from Amy Street to Eleventh Avenue, with the full loop including an uphill gravel section.

This reserve contains over 75 native plant species, three of which are listed as threatened. Keep an eye out for the wildlife that still hang on in this urban island, including refuging wallabies and pademelons, and the watchful local, the threatened grey goshawk (white-morph).

Please take care not to disturb them as this is an increasingly isolated refuge for the wildlife of Moonah.

Amy St Reserve

A pleasant 2hr walk along a mown track through mostly open grassland with fantastic views of the Derwent estuary and kunanyi/Mount Wellington. There are secluded beaches, lots of bird life including wedge-tailed eagles and many rabbit burrows throughout the reserve so please watch your step. The area is rich in Aboriginal heritage and was part of the land of the Muriminina people prior to colonisation. The land was granted by colonial authorities to William Gellibrand who built a home on the property, cleared the land for farming and constructed his own tomb at Mary Ann Bay, which can still be seen. The track follows the coast of the peninsula passing Shelly Beach, Gellibrand Point, Mary Ann Bay and Mitchells Beach. There is an alternative inland route between Mary Ann Bay and White Rock Point that goes over the small hills in the reserve. The reserve is managed by the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service.

Road crossing

The Battery Point Sculpture Trail is an easy stroll linking nine large numerical sculptures that provide a fascinating introduction to Hobart’s history. Each sculpture along this international-award winning trail represents a weight, measure, time, quantity, date or distance linked to a story about that place. Look for a sculpture afloat in the river, one cut from a hedge and another that glows all night. The trail winds past some of the city’s oldest surviving residences and through locations where many of Tasmania’s first industries were established. Following around Battery Point and along the shore of the river, there are views of both the port and the lower Derwent Estuary.
