Walking

Tasmania has long been a mecca for walkers and has received many accolades for its world-renowned walks in the Tasmanian World Heritage Wilderness Area. Tasmania's ancient landscapes and endemic flora and fauna make Tasmania the ultimate bushwalking destination, earning the state a worldclass reputation for bushwalking. Tasmania has multiple iconic multiday walks including the Overland Track in Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, the Three Capes Walk in south-east Tasmania, and the Palawa (Tasmanian Aboriginal) owned and led Wukalina Walk in north-east Tasmania which takes in Wukalina / Mount William. Tasmania also has a plethora of other short and day walks, as well as multiday walks which also command national and global significance for their diverse landscapes, from glacial alpine mountains to beaches and coastal environments.
