<header autonumber="true" camping="There is nice camping to found on the shores of Lake Burbury 1-2km further south. Look for a road off to the left with lots of potholes, just before you see the lake. " 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 after a small bridge a gravel road goes off to the right, park here. There is a small creek heading perpendicular to the road, look for some orange tags starting just up from the bridge on the Queenstown side, follow these across two easy creek crossings to the start of the obvious ridgeline . The lowest boulder is 10 minutes from here and then they continue all the way up the mountain. " history="Jon Nermut did some exploring and posted some photos back in 2005 and the recent development was started in 2014." intro="The Mt Lyell boulder field is a huge expanse of conglomerate boulders spread all over the slopes of Mt Lyell, just outside Queenstown. If you like climbing on conglomerate then the potential here is endless! There are small sit starts all the way to Adamsfield like giants. The rock is good as the bits that are going to break are obvious and the rest is solid. <br/><br/>The selection of problems here is just the beginning of what will be a major new area in a stunning location, with a remote mountain feel and relatively easy access.
