Tasman Peninsula

Tasman Peninsula, with its 300m sea cliffs, offers many natural wonders within a small area. Most destinations, besides Cape Pillar, are accessible from the road or a day walk.

Three Capes Track is 46 kilometers in length and was opened in 2015. It is amazing how much effort was put into its construction, including artistic boardwalks and benches. With advanced huts along the way, it would be a great introduction to multi-day walks and camping. The cost is 500 AUD to hike and stay in the huts, while Wughalee Falls Campground is still free.

Three Capes Track leads to Cape Hauy and Pillar only. To visit the third destination, Cape Raoul, there is another 14 km return walk. Between these areas, Mount Brown and many other sights including historical Port Arthur and a park with local wildlife can be enjoyed.
