Mountain range in Tasmania, Australia
TheFrankland Range is amountain range that is located in thesouth-west region ofTasmania , Australia. The range forms part of a natural south-western border to theimpounded Lake Pedder , formed by the damming of theSerpentine andHuon rivers.
As part of theSouth West Wilderness area, it is a less popular site of bushwalking than other, more famous, ranges in Tasmania's South West, and is for much more advanced walkers due to its length, isolation and terrain. Access routes to the range are by boat from the lake, or the roads atStrathgordon orScotts Peak Dam .[ 3]
Nearby ranges include theArthur ,Companion ,Folded ,Tribulation , and theWilmot ranges.
