BELL
MOUNTAIN
The
Road to Cradle
|
Bell
mountain is just a couple of kilometres north of Moina on the Forth to Cradle
Mountain highway. The view on the left is from the road to the
Cethana Dam and Power Station. Access is from the bottom of the
Cethana Gorge and is a short diversion when coming from Sheffield. Moina is at the western end of the Cethana Gorge
road from Sheffield. The walk is almost an hour return - 30+ minutes up
(including plenty of rests) and 10 minutes back. The track starts
from beside the highway. The track virtually goes straight up
the slope. Possibly one of the most impressive views in the state.

The view
south from the top of Bell Mountain.
A
commanding 360 degree view including virtually the entire Western Tiers,
Walls of Jerusalem, Cradle Mountain, Black Bluff, Lemonthyme Valley, Mt Roland,
Lake Rowallan and Bass Strait to the north. Cradle Mountain is in the
centre of the above picture with the mountains on the overland track clearly
visible to the left of Cradle. The higher resolution photos depicts summer
snow on some of the peaks.
The small settlement of Moina is in near the
centre of the picture. Accommodation is available here. Lemonthyme Lodge is just
out of picture to the left. The start of the Bridal Veil Falls walk. |
