The South Coast Track Huts Walk, South West National Park Tasmania
The project involves building 6 environmentally sensitive walker's huts along the 85 km South Coast track in the magnificent Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area (TWWHA) in southern Tasmania for a 7 day commercial guided walk for small groups of 10 guests and 2 guides. It provides a new opportunity for people to walk in this remarkable wilderness in safety and without having to carry a heavy pack. The new guided walk will raise the profile of the Huon Valley and Far South areas as a tourism destination and bring lasting benefits with increased visitation, new accommodation and cafes, new tourism and transport operations, the same way the Overland Track, Three Capes Track and Derby mountain biking have done for their regional communities.
