Guides and Trips in Tasmania

This little walk combines a gentle climb on easy road surface to real bush walking conditions as it follows the Smoko Creek through a series of steep forested slopes and visits several spectacular cascades. Myrtle, King Billy and sassafras dominate the temperate rainforest of this region and as you move off road and into the bush proper, you leave behind the forestry practices of the past that have regenerated as scrubby eucalypt and...

A friend and I walked the Penguin Cradle Trail, in six days, in early Spring. It had snowed a week before, and there was a bit still about on the plateau and over on Cradle. However the weather was fine. It was slower along the Leven than we expected - many small ups and downs add up.

This is the Charleston TrackThe track leads to the Forth Falls. While the track and caches are in the public reserve, access to the track is through private property. The property owners are happy for people to cross through to the track but ask if you let them know you would like to walk the track before embarking on your walk. You can do this by calling Escape B & B Accommodation...

Friday lunch time start with a camp at Two Mile Creek. Then followed a hard day, initially along the track before turning off to cross the Arthur Plains to the base of Kappa Moraine.  It was quite  a stiff climb up the steep side to the track then a  steady ascent to the Vesta junction where we set up tents, scoured the area for water and then set out to climb Carina...

One of my favourite short walks.  An easy 2 hr return, lots of photographic opportunities and spectacular forests.  It is a bit of a drive from home but well worth the effort.
