Guidelines

• Always do some research before heading out for your journey. Visit the local visitor information centre for the most up to date information.
• From Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service: Even for a short walk on a fine day, carry a light pack with a weatherproof jacket, warm hat, water (1 litre per person for every 3 hours of walking), some high energy food and a first aid kit that includes an emergency space blanket. At the same time, be prepared for bright sunshine—carry a sunhat, sunglasses, sunscreen. Insect repellent can also make your walk more comfortable and be sure to take a rubbish bag and carry your rubbish out with you.
• Stay safe and get the most out of your visit by preparing for natural hazards and other outdoor risks. You are responsible for your own safety and the safety of those in your care.
• Wear suitable footwear and ensure to wear appropriate clothing to protect yourself from the elements when outside exploring.
• Plan ahead and ensure to take enough food and water for your journey.
• Always stay on the marked tracks where possible. Never climb fences, they are there for your own safety.
• Please consider the environment, take your rubbish with you or place in the bins provided. We want to ensure these beautiful places are still here for our future generations to enjoy.
• Ensure to let a responsible adult know of your plans and report back into them once you have finished exploring for the day.
• National park fees may apply for national parks in Tasmania. Check the parks website for bookings and/ or further details.
