South Coast and Port Davey Tracks

South Coast and Port Davey Tracks

The South Coast and Port Davey tracks in the South Coast Tasmania region are two linking bushwalking tracks in the Southwest National Park of Tasmania, Australia.

They can be completed separately or together as a long continuously trek.

The 85km South Coast track is the more popular of the two, with around 1000 trekkers per year. The track starts at Cockle Creek south of Hobart and roughly follows the southern coastline to the isolated locality of Melaleuca, accessible only via air, sea and foot.

The Port Davey track starts or ends at Melaleuca and runs for 70km north to Scotts Peak Road. Approximately 200 people a year walk the Port Davey track.
