Tasmania’s real reputation among bushwalkers rests on its multi-day tracks: routes that push through alpine plateaus, wild river valleys and roadless coastline over several days, usually with a hut or tent platform waiting at the end of each one. These aren’t casual outings — most require bookings, permits, proper wet-weather gear and genuine fitness — but they’re the walks people travel from interstate and overseas to do.
Mount Field National Park is Tasmania’s oldest national park, and it’s still one of the best places in the state to pack a lot of walking into a single day.
