Our
house
sitter collects snail mail but cannot process electronic orders.
On our return we will process and post
all orders by Tuesday September 8th
2026.
If you want a book earlier, we suggest ordering direct from Everest Sports (they are one
of our distributors)
We have sold out of the second edition, a new editionis planned
for printing in November 2026. We have a small number of first edition
which we are offering at a lower price.. We supply with each book a
sheet that includes updates for both editions. Updates are fairly
minimal with the main ones being - transport services have changed
(operators come and go), there is a cut track over Black Bluff if its
high tide and a bridge has been constructed across Milford Creek.
Contains comprehensive track notes for walking the South Coast Track
in
Tasmania. The
guide has 9 -1:50,000 colour
topographic maps of the
entire track, 50 colour photographs plus gradient profiles of the
track. This is an all
colour production with full track notes for
both directions along the trail. The colour
topographic maps and notes have been colour coded for each
direction to reduce confusion about which notes are currently being
followed. This is one of
the worlds great wilderness walks and takes 6 to 8 days to walk. Most
plan for 7 days and it is suggested to carry one spare days food in
case a river floods causing delays.
For those wishing to explore further than the South Coast
Track,
then the larger guide book South
West Tasmania which
also includes the South Coast Track should be considered (however we
have sold out of that book, there may still be some copies available in
retail outlets). This book
is actually a subset of that larger guide and we would expect
walkers to use one or the other but not both. Note that the maps
in South West Tasmania for the South Coast Track are a smaller scale
(1:100,000) and there is
less detail in the track notes as that book is designed for more
experienced
walkers. Suggested retail price for South Coast Track is $19.95
