Hi Everyone,
Firstly I would like to say what a wonderful site this is, I have only recently found it but have already gained a lot of helpful information.
Anyway, I’m heading to Tassie for the first two weeks of July with two others, who have medium experience but are fit and have all necessary gear. I know it seems like a very general question, but I was wondering what would be some good 3 day (or 4), 2 night, loop walks. Loop because we will have the car, and plan to park it and (hopefully) end back up were its parked. I was considering 3 days due to some time constraints, but also due to weather and a hope to maybe be able to do 2 or more such walks in differing parts of the state.
While the group is fit and reasonably experienced, we would also like to stop, enjoy the scenery and obviously reach camp before dark, which at this time of the year would limit the distance of walking each day. That said, not afraid of some step climbs or descents. Also, have good equipment, but ideally wouldn’t want to spend all 4 days in the snow buffeted by blizzards.
Obviously have been drooling over some of the more well know parts of the state (Freycinet, Cradle,….), but would also like something a but more off the beaten track (quite) that is still well marked, or maybe introduced to an area I have not considered. Would love a rainforest walk, bit of tall Euc. country, ocean, hills, even a bit of history (old mines, settlements)…?? Have been pretty keen on Arthur River and Corinna (Can you still get there with western explorer road closed?), also Cockle Creek, Mole Creek or Coles bay as starting points, But open to any suggestion…
Anyway I have rambled on too much and probably ask many questions that are already answered in other threads, bur any help, local knowledge and tips would be greatly appreciated. I’m really looking forward to the trip and would love to make the most out of it!
Thanks again for a great site!!
