It's well-marked, long walk with varia ble scenery including beaches, rainforests, high ridges and button grass plains. We'll allow up to 9 days (8 nights) to do the walk, which inclu des allowance for bad weather and a side trip to Louisa Bay. Participant s should have appropriate fitness, experience and gear for this multi-da y walk. Although this walk is on a track, this is not a walk for beginne rs to multi-day hiking. The weather in the south west of Tasmania can be quite wet and wild requiring good raincoats and tents. Crossing the Iro nbound and South Cape ranges can involve steep ascents/descents (900m, 5 00m respectively). Sections of the track will be muddy/rooty. And there are wades of unbridged creeks and estuaries especially the Louisa River. Participants will need to fly in to Melaleuca to meet the trip leaders who'll be already there. They should also allow for possible weather/fli ght delays by not booking their interstate flights immediately before or after the walk dates.
