Dial Range

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dial Range is a small mountain range in northwest Tasmania, south of the town of Penguin near the coast. It extends about 14km north to south and 4-5km west to east. It is bordered on the east and south by the Leven River, with the Gunns Plains to the south.

There are approximately 5200 hectares of state owned land in the range. Of this, 4354 hectares is state forest and forest reserve managed by Forestry Tasmania. Two smaller areas are managed by the Parks and Wildlife Service, the Mount Montgomery and Ferndene state reserves. The remaining 507 hectares, comprising two land parcels contiguous with the reserves, have been proposed as a Nature Recreation Area.

Mountains in the range, from north to south, are:

• Mount Montgomery
• Mount Dial
• Mount Gnomon
• Mount Duncan
• Mount Riana
• Mount Lorymer
