There are several extended walks, including a quite strenuous walk along the Tarn Shelf, over Newdegate Pass and back along the Rodway Range. This part of the course is based at the Government Huts near Lake Dobson. This will be done in a series of day excursions from the Sandy Bay campus.
Assessment is by written reports and a plant collection.
Transport Transport to Mt Field from the University is provided. Feb. Please bring your lunch, a mug and waterproofs packed separately for Day 1. You will arrive at the huts in time to prepare your evening meal. The weather at Mt Field can be very changeable and work will proceed regardless of weather. Swimming is possible in good weather, so bring bathers.
