From the 1880s, both winter and summer tourists began to appreciate the natural values of the high country, with many of these earlier tracks becoming bushwalking tracks and trails. Today, Harrietville offers many opportunities to explore a diverse and vibrant ecological landscape, a landscape that is also intimately connected to the unique human history of the area. From Traditional Owners, gold miners, cattle graziers and even pioneering tourists, all relied upon, and had special connections to this environment. Bungalow Spur walking track cutters, c1906.

The Room with a View walk initially follows a slightly undulating trail then flattens out. The track heads north along the eastern flanks of Dead Timber Hill. After 0.5km it drops gently down to a grassy plain and veers west to a marker that designates the track loop. Most walkers prefer to keep to the left route as it descends through snow grass and drops through the Snow Gums to a small clearing - here is the ‘room Starfish Fungus - Image courtesy Parks Victoria with a view’.
