Read Less -Hand-carved out of the forest in the late nineteenth century, this is a great introductory trail for beginners and families. It follows the old North East Dundas tramway route, once used during the area’s mining heyday. Now, it is a scenic trail that takes in Tasmania’s tallest waterfall and the surrounding ancient rainforest of leatherwood, myrtle, sassafras and giant tree ferns.
An ideal trail for families and beginners, this is a low impact, shared trail used by trail riders, walkers and horse riders. Ocean Beach is Tasmania’s longest beach and stretches more than 30kms between Trial Harbour to the north and Macquarie Heads in the south. Gaze west and contemplate the 20,000kms of open sea in front of you to appreciate the wild and remote nature of the west coast.
This one-way trail takes its lead from historical trails in the area between Tullah and Rosebery. This is a challenging, but rewarding ride through spectacular myrtle rainforest with occasional views of the face of Mt Murchison. The trail takes a rugged uphill path that can be challenging at times before cresting at Sterling Saddle and then navigating a technical, yet exhilarating, classic descent trail into Rosebery.
