Twelve selected walks, some of the best in the state, are overnight walks and will suit campers. Detailed route directions, track notes and time estimates give you all of the information you need to tackle the walks with confidence. This is the definitive guide to walking in Tasmania. Includes: 168 detailed maps; Comprehensive track notes; Complete index of walks arranged by region, major interest (i.e. beach, waterfall, wilderness etc) and season; Details of Tasmania's landscape and climate; Information on Tasmania's flora and fauna.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guidebook covers the iconic Overland Track in Tasmania's stunning Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park. The well-maintained 80km route from Cradle Valley to Lake St Clair is described over seven stages, along with optional sidetrips to the area's many accessible peaks including Mt Ossa, Tasmania's highest mountain. The track can be completed in between 5 and 9 days, depending on fitness and whether hikers undertake sidetrips. Each stage features clear 1:50,000 mapping and profiles alongside detailed route description. The guide also includes essential practical information about booking onto the track and arranging permits, as well as comprehensive notes about the facilities available at each of the Overland huts. The extensive plant and animal section provides photos and descriptions of the eclectic range of wildlife that can be spotted along the track, and many of these fascinating species are found nowhere else on Earth. The Overland Track crosses Tasmania's spectacular wild landscape, travelling through buttongrass moorland and rainforests, passing tranquil lakes and impressive waterfalls. Although more physically and technically challenging than the main route, the track's sidetrips are well worth the effort in good weather for the panoramic views they offer of the stunning Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park.

Download or read book South Coast Track written by John Chapman and published by . This book was released on 2017-10 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contains comprehensive track notes for walking the South Coast Track in Tasmania. The guide has 9 -1:50,000 colour topographic maps of the entire track, 50 colour photographs plus gradient profiles of the track. This is an all colour production with full track notes for both directions along the trail. The colour topographic maps and notes have been colour coded for each direction to reduce confusion about which notes are currently being followed. This is one of the world's great wilderness walks and takes 6 to 8 days to walk. Most plan for 7 days and it is suggested to carry one spare days food in case of river floods causing delays. For those wishing to explore further than the South Coast Track, then the larger guide book South West Tasmania which also includes the South Coast Track should be considered. This book is actually a subset of that larger guide and we would expect walkers to use one or the other but not both. Note that the maps in South West Tasmania for the South Coast Track are a smaller scale (1:100,000) and there is less detail in the track notes as that book is designed for more experienced walkers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Undiscovered Tasmania is your travel guide to the real Tasmania. Beyond the usual tourist attractions, this small island is brimming with special places to see and experience, and locals Rochelle and Wally Dare are here to let visitors in on their secrets. This isn’t your typical guidebook. Rochelle and Wally will take you deep into the Corinna Wilderness, along stretches of beautiful beaches and to their favourite places to camp. Sections include 'Beaches We Barefoot' (but NOT including Wineglass Bay), 'Roads We Trip', 'Towns We Explore' and 'Wildlife We Respect'. There's also advice for travelling on Tasmanian roads, a road toolkit, stories of locals and a focus on Tassie’s burgeoning food scene, from farm-to-plate restaurants to the best fish and chips in the state. Many experiences are uniquely Tasmanian like the Floating Sauna on Lake Derby, while the diversity of landscapes include the moon-like mining town of Queenstown and the rolling green hills of King Island that make it so perfect for dairy products. Featuring Rochelle's stunning photography throughout, this guide will take you to those places that fly under the radar, but represent the ultimate travel destinations across the Apple Isle. They're hidden gems and places that Rochelle and Wally hold dear in their hearts.
