    Tips

    May 26, 2026

    The South Coast Track is one of Tasmania’s most remote and challenging long-distance walks, stretching about eighty-five kilometres from Cockle Creek to Melaleuca through the far southwest wilderness. The opening section towards South Cape Bay crosses muddy marshland, coastal heath, and long timber boardwalks winding beneath dense fern forest before reaching the exposed Southern Ocean coastline beneath Lion Rock. Constantly changing weather, strong winds, and isolated terrain give the track its wild reputation even on shorter day walk sections.
