Hiking the Penguin to Cradle walk

Eco-friendly activity

Penguin monument, Ken Stepnell

If you want to embark on a little-known, but highly varied Tasmanian bushwalk, try part or the entire 80-kilometre Penguin to Cradle walk. It starts at the coast, goes through a mix of rural areas, woodlands, canyons, mountain ranges and rainforest, and finishes at Cradle Mountain–Lake St Clair National Park. It can be done as a five-to-seven-day trek, or reduced to four, long, day walks. You can download maps from the website.
