The Anthony Road (Route B28) is a highway in Western Tasmania, running from the Murchison Highway (A10) to the Zeehan Highway(A10) near Queenstown. The name is derived from the Anthony River which is located in the West Coast Range.
The Anthony Road is the only road from which all major peaks of the Cradle Mountain- Lake St Clair reserve can be seen, and it gives access to several classic walk: Mt Murchison, the Dora Plateau and the Tyndall Range.[1]
It runs close the lakes both natural and man made that exist in the upper reaches of the Lake Murchison catchment of the Pieman River power scheme - Lake Plimsoll (man made), Lake Selina, and Lake Westwood. It also goes close to the base of Mount Murchison.
It is also an access road for the Henty Gold Mine.
It runs parallel to the Henty River for the last 10 kilometres before the Zeehan Highway.
