Epic Hikes of the World ( PDFDrive )

Track is an accessible introduction to wilderness walking, somewhere between
rufty-tufty camping trails and the gourmet lodge-to-lodge packages such as those
on Maria Island and the Bay of Fires. Over 29 miles (46km) and four days, walkers
encounter sea cliffs, aromatic eucalypt forest and leech-infested rainforest,
windswept heath and two of the three titular capes (the other, Cape Raoul, is
visible but not visited, though it will be included in a mooted route extension).
Accommodation is in three custom-built cabin sites, with simple, comfy bunkrooms
and well-equipped kitchen and toilet blocks – bring a sleeping bag and food, but
none of the other paraphernalia required on a hardcore plunge into Tasmania’s
more-remote wildernesses.

The walking and landscapes, though, are epic enough from the off. From
gorgeous Denmans Cove I traced the path through ghostly gum woods, Port Arthur
Bay just discernible through the spooky mist. On that first day I tramped a gentle
2.5 miles (4km) to Surveyors, the first of the three cabin sites, each with different
but alluring views. That night I munched dinner on the open deck, gazing across
heath grazed by Bennett’s wallabies, west to the craggy columns of Cape Raoul,
and east to the hump of Arthur’s Peak – the next day’s main challenge.
