The walk to Duckhole Lake, south of Dover, takes around 1.5 hours (4.2 km return) and is so delightful it’s made the list of Tasmania’s 60 Great Short Walks. The track winds through a forest of stringybarks, sassafras, myrtle, and sections of tea tree swamp, following a late 19th century sawmill tramway for much of the way. The lake itself is the epitome of tranquility (although it’s actually a flooded sinkhole).

Cockle Creek is the paradise at the end of Australia’s southern-most road. Forested hills roll right down to the water and distant peaks enhance the stunning scenery. Walk along the white sandy beach and paddle in the crystal-clear water. Find the whale sculpture and walk to the Fishers Point Navigation Light and Pilot Station ruins (2 hrs return). Wander the historic cemetery and ponder the lives of early settlers.

The park makes up part of Tasmania’s Wilderness World Heritage Area and features some of the country’s most untouched coastline, button grass plains, wild rivers, dramatic mountain ranges, and ancient rainforest. The South Cape Bay Track (4 hrs return / 7.7 km one way) offers a taste of the famed multi-day South Coast Track. Keep an eye out for the local wildlife, including special birdlife.

This is a tough 7Hr walk on steep ground!!
The track climbs slightly as it follows the remains of one of the tramways used for removing trees previously and then climbs steeply to Manuka Flat. This takes 30-40 minutes. Some trees are down across the track and have to be clambered over. There are a couple of very steep sections and mud makes it a bit slippery in wet conditions. From Manuka Flat the track firstly sidles left slightly and climbs gently around the slope of the hill, then climbs steeply and directly up the hill. There is now a long solid climb to the plateau.
At the top, the track suddenly turns right along the hill, and a small trickle of water provides a welcome drink at a point with a good view back across the walk route. The track then switches back to the left and climbs onto the plateau to the "hut". The hut is in an advanced state of disrepair, and the only useful features here are the huge wall which provides some shelter from the wind, and the remains of the chimney, which helps support a sheet of tin that might provide shelter from the rain.
The track then heads off across the moor, past a cairn, and becomes muddy in places. From here the aim is the northern moraine wall above the boggy area which forms the source of Creekton Rivulet. The track climbs steadily to the base of this moraine across some boggy areas, then up onto it and follows the crest onto the main summit ridge. It climbs steeply up the ridge, sidling around the left a little before crossing back to the right just below a rocky knob. The track drops slightly, then climbs again on large boulders marked with cairns. Finally you emerge at a rounded summit, marked by a large cairn made of ice-shattered dolerite shards.
