April 4th Haven Lake-Lake Rosanne Mileage: 14km/8.7mi It was another cold damp night camping camping next to a lake. We packed up our condensation soaked tents and headed out just after 7am. The morning was just warm enough (40F/4.4C) to not have that cold bite to it...

April 3rd Lake Oberon-Haven Lake Mileage: 8km/5mi No, that's not a typo on the mileage today. With a full day of effort, we managed just 8km/5mi over 9.5hrs of hiking time. Just half a mile an hour, and that's actually fairly fast for this terrain. We left camp this...

April 2nd Huon River Campground-Lake Oberon 20km/12.4mi It rained lightly on and off the whole night. We started packing up at our usual time around 7am when it starts to get light. I was using a little digital watch for the time and had yet to turn on my phone....

April 1st Hobart-Huon River Campground I'm indulging in another simple day to report with a short entry. We got to sleep in (I still got up at 7:15am) at the Tasmanian Inn for our second morning and took advantage of the free continental breakfast. We really like it...

March 31st Hobart This is another short entry. We had a day off in Hobart as we wait two days for our clear weather window before we head to the Western Arthurs. I'm very much enjoying the break from detailed blogging for these couple days! We slept in and took the...

March 30th Maria Island-Hobart Mileage: 12km/7.5mi *Note: Yesterday's post may not have gotten sent out to all subscribers, so here is the link to Day 23 if you missed it.  Today's entry will be fairly short as it wasn't a super detailed day. We did a morning...

March 29th Wineglass Bay-Maria Island Mileage: 9.3km/5.8mi Campsite Elevation: 64ft/20m It was a relaxed 5km/3mi walk out from Wineglass Bay. We've heard it can be a busy day hike, but our timing was good leaving in the morning before many venture out. If anyone goes...

March 28th Richardson Beach-Wineglass Bay Mileage: 27.5km/17mi Campsite Elevation: 36ft/11m It was a great night of sleep along Coles Bay. We had just a few minutes of driving to the trailhead for our next overnight loop, the Freycinet Circuit, a 32km/19.8mi loop on...

March 27th Nubeena-Richardson Beach Mileage: 14km/8.7mi Campsite Elevation: 37ft/11m We knew rain was expected the second half of the day today, so it was good timing to hit a shorter hike out and back to Cape Raoul before lunch. This wasn't on our original list, but...

March 26th Wughalee Campsite-Nubeena Mileage: 33km/29.5mi Campsite Elevation: 127ft/39m As I mentioned yesterday, we are doing a portion of the Three Capes Track along Tasmania's east coast. It's been around for awhile, but just over a year ago, they opened it up to...

March 24th Cockle Creek-Wughalee Campsite Mileage: 8km/5mi Campsite Elevation: 141ft/43m We got to sleep in a bit before Isaac and Gabbs gave us a ride back to Hobart. I was happy to get an episode of Downton Abbey in and we left by 8:30am. It was a two hour drive to...

March 22nd Louisa River-Osmiridium Campsite Mileage: 26.1km/16.2mi Campsite Elevation: 77ft/23m Total South Coast Track Mileage: 56.3km/35mi I slept a lot last night. I usually wake up in the middle of the night or earlier in the morning when I fall asleep before 9pm,...

March 21st Hobart Mileage: 0 Well, I guess I should be careful what I wish for. I mentioned yesterday that I'd like to get a day of rain in town to be able to see Beauty and the Beast, and I got it...well sorta got it. We arrived at Par Avion, the small place where...
