" access="Mt Lyell is 10 minutes out of Queenstown on the Lyell Highway, 2 hours from Burnie or 4 from Hobart. Coming from Burnie, go through Queenstown and just past Gormanston you will see the boulders on the left side of the road. Just before a small bridge a gravel road goes off to the right, park here. There is a small creek heading perpendicular to road, follow this to some thick bush bashing and two creek crossings before starting the ascent. The lowest boulder is 10 minutes from here and then they continue all the way up the mountain.
