Tassie is a great place for bushwalking. Usually, we go to the south of the Island but next year we are going to the north and also going to Flinders Island for the first time for a Club trip. These annual Tassie trips are a series of daywalks and we usually stay in motels or cabins.

The walks are of various difficulty from easy-medium to medium-hard. As a guide to the difficulty the walks are similar to the Shipstern Circuit or Mt Maroon so within the capability of most members. I already have 5 on the trip. The trips do include airfares etc so they do cost money but overall they are very good value. Please note I have selected all the walks so far but other walkers may know of a special walk we must do walk, if so please advise. Khaleel indicated he may do a few more walks after we finish the Club trip. If you still want to nominate please contact me a.s.a.p.
