Ten Day South Coast Track Tour

Tour grade: T2 - Narrower but distinct tracks (may be muddy in some places) in pristine natural environments. Facilities are minimal and you will encounter few other walkers. These moderate tours require a reasonable level of fitness. The South Coast Track is one of Tasmania's most remote tracks, combining an extraordinary range of environments and conditions featuring bleak button grass plains, breathtaking ocean vistas, unspoilt temperate rainforest and an exposed alpine plateau. The walk encompasses the entire panorama of Tasmania's geological history from its oldest rocks in the west (600 million years old), coal seams and fluted dolerite cliffs in the east (160 metres) to sands and gravels from the last ice age. The sense of isolation is highlighted by the light aircraft flight from Cambridge Airport (Hobart) to the landing strip at Melaleuca. This short exhilarating flight provides spectacular views of the Eastern Arthur Range, including the remarkable Federation Peak.
