Artillery Knob

Artillery Knob is a mountain summit in Meander Valley that rises to about 1,200 meters (3,937 feet) with gently sloping sides covered in native plants. The terrain reflects Tasmania's temperate climate, which brings frequent weather shifts throughout the year.

The mountain formed millions of years ago as part of the Delamerian Orogen, a major mountain-building event that shaped northern Tasmania's landscape. These geological processes created the rocky structures visible today.

The summit holds importance for Aboriginal communities of Tasmania, who developed deep connections with the mountainous landscapes of Meander Valley.

Visitors should bring weatherproof clothing and check conditions before heading up, as mountain conditions can shift rapidly in higher elevations. Good footwear is important for staying safe on uneven ground.

Abandoned copper mines sit near this summit, revealing Tasmania's long history of mining activity in the region. These remains remind visitors of the economic pursuits that once shaped the area.
