Description
A short, level walk to a sandstone rock platform with great views of the Organ Pipes, Hobart and the Derwent River.
This is a good family walk, however care needs to be taken near the edges of Sphinx Rock. With its easterly aspect, this track gets plenty of sun and so it is an ideal choice for a winter walk (except when Pinnacle Road is closed due to heavy snowfalls). During late winter and early spring there are good displays of wildflowers along this track.
A short distance from Sphinx Rock is Rock Cabin, an historic stone shelter which is well worth the diversion.
