South Coast Track

South Coast Track - Update Page | Contents Page

64 pages, 9 colour topographic maps, 1st edition,  ISBN 978 1 920995 07 2, recommended Price A$17.95 (including GST)

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 could be considered. 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 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.

The first edition of the guide is now available. Copies are available direct from us for $16 post paid within Australia. We can also provide clear plastic protective covers for $3 each (postage included), which is a total of $19 for book with cover. Only cheques on Australian banks or money orders can be accepted as I do not have credit card facilities - I am primarily a writer and self publisher - not a book seller. Alternatively to order on-line by credit card contact Open Spaces Publishing. At present I have four 'seconds' (books with a small crease or marks on the corner) that are available for $12 including postage within Australia. If you want one then email first and I will hold a book for two weeks pending delivery of payment.
