Hard |
14.5km return 6 hrs |

Loontitetermairrelehoiner Track (East Coast Tasmania) |
13 Dec, 2020 |
Easy |
2.3km return 45 mins |

13 Dec, 2020 |
Very Easy |
600m return 20 mins |

Mt Wellington - Summit Lookouts (Wellington Park) |
13 Dec, 2020 |

Mount Amos (Freycinet National Park) |
12 Dec, 2020 |
Hard |
4km return 3 hrs |
|
| Unmatched views in all directions. Make sure to have time to sit on the top for a while. Sadly, a few tourists walk up with phone in hand only. Not very helpful if the weather changes or it is as hot/ dry as today. Silly accidents may cause authorities to close the walk. | ||||
|
Wineglass Bay/Hazards Beach Circuit (Freycinet National Park) |
12 Dec, 2020 |
Medium |
11.5km return 4 hrs |

| Hazards Beach was the highlight for me on this walk. All to myself, near perfect colours of the sand/ water, lots of interesting shells all over the beach. Take your time while doing this section! | ||||

11 Dec, 2020 |
Easy |
1km return 20 mins |

10 Dec, 2020 |
Medium |
6.3km return 2.5 hrs |
|
| Raised boardwalks, water falls, river gorge and rock scrambling- this track has a bit of everything. I enjoyed especially the final stretch through the button grass with the rising sun warming my back. | ||||
|
Face Track (Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park) |
9 Dec, 2020 |
Medium |
2km one-way 1 hr |

9 Dec, 2020 |
Hard |
7.5km return 3 hrs |
|

9 Dec, 2020 |
Easy |
2km return 40 mins |
|
| After a long day on the alpine tracks, I was challenged by the many steps of the well maintained boardwalk sections. Even a bit eerie at late arvo. | ||||
