Mount Roland Conservation Area
Mount Roland is a Conservation area in the north west coast region of Tasmania. [1]
It is near the town of Sheffield. It rises to 1234 metres and there are a number of well-marked bushwalks suitable for a day of pleasant exercise. There are long established walking tracks from both Claude Road and Gowrie Park to the summit.[2][3][4]
A Mount Roland cable car has been proposed for the mountain on several occasions.[5] The local community remains divided over the suitability or desirability of a cable car. [6]
