Car

From Mount Field National Park, head south on Lake Rd towards Gordon River Rd. Continue for about 8 km, then turn left onto Gordon River Rd. After approximately 20 km, merge onto the Lyell Hwy/A10. Follow the A10 for about 12 km until you reach the Derwent Valley region. Look for signs indicating Derwent Valley and follow them into the area. The drive takes around 30-40 minutes, and be aware that there may be some roadworks along the way, so plan for potential delays.

If you prefer public transportation, take the bus operated by Metro Tasmania from Mount Field National Park to the nearest major town, New Norfolk. You will first need to get to the nearest bus stop, which is located at the entrance of the Park. The bus departs regularly, but check the schedule in advance as it may vary. The journey to New Norfolk takes approximately 1 hour. From New Norfolk, you can take a taxi or rideshare service to reach specific locations within the Derwent Valley, which is approximately 15 km away.

Taxi/Rideshare

For those without a car, after reaching New Norfolk by bus, you can easily find taxi services near the bus station. Expect to pay approximately AUD 30-40 for a taxi ride to the Derwent Valley area. Alternatively, you can use rideshare apps like Uber, which may offer similar pricing. This method gives you more flexibility in choosing your exact destination within the valley.
