Walking Tasmania’s South Coast Track

With full packs and more than eight days food, Margie and I set off to walk the South Coast Track. Covering more than 85 kilometres, from Melaleuca to Cockle Creek, in the remote wilderness of Southwest National Park, we had an amazing experience. It was challenging and relentless at times but extremely satisfying. The scenery was impressive, ever changing and unforgettable.

This 81 year old loved your presentation of the walk I did back in 1976 from East to West. Track conditions have not improved much especially coming off the eastern side of Ironbounds and South Cape Range. Hope this magic track remains to be enjoyed in the future without future proposed developments.😁

Thanks Peter. It's one of those impressive walks that sticks in our memory forever. We found the crossing of the Ironbound the most challenging day but highly rewarding. It must have been harder still when you did it! I have heard about proposals, mainly from commercial tour operators, which I am strongly against. I agree it should stay as is.

I'm booked in to do this walk in April. I really appreciate you posting this video. I can't wait although I'm very nervous about the weather. Looks like you got good conditions for the walk.

Thanks. I'm sure you will have an enjoyable walk, and hopefully good weather. We are booked in for the Overland Track next month in mid April, so we too are hoping for fine weather. Will be packing gear for all conditions.
