Strzelecki National Park
Visitors love to stamp up the 756m-high Mt Strzelecki in Strzelecki National Park. The walk starts 12km south of Whitemark on Trousers Point Rd, from where you point your trousers up the well-signposted track (four to five hours return). The views from the top are gob-smacking. Mt Strzelecki is one of the peaks in the Three Peaks Race.
