PUFF-O-METRE


OVERVEW

While Strahan has a number of beautiful walks along the coastline, this one is slightly hidden away but takes you to a magnificent little waterfall. The start of the track is less than a KM from the main road of Strahan and starts inside the lovely Peoples Park.

It's a relaxed track that people of all ages and abilities can manage. It's even pram/wheelchair friendly until the last 100m when the track narrows a little and then there are stairs down to the base of the waterfall. If neither of these two obstacles dampen your desire then maybe it's still achievable.

Any of the areas that cross over waterways or areas that are prone to flooding, are overcome thanks to some wide and well built bridges. These bridges not only elevate you above the water but they also have fake grass added to help with water dispersal.

Throughout the walk, you get the pleasure of thick foliage at both ground level and as a canopy to shield you from the sunshine. There are pockets of open tree canopy at times that allow areas to be bathed in sunshine which completely contrasts the rest of the wilderness. 

The waterfall is a lovely location for a moment to yourself or to share. There is ample seating whether it be on the fallen trees or the staircase that leads to the base of the waterfall.

  Drift Away Organic Shack is a peaceful retreat for two located in Police Point, approximately 73km south of Hobart. Ideal for a couple, this cute studio has stunning views of the Huon River. The shack is located on the owner's residential property, but as the main house is set well behind the shack, the house and its inhabitants go unnoticed. The idea with this shack is to relax - read a book, drink in the view, cook a meal on the outdoor fire pit or enjoy a relaxing bath in the...........drumroll.............outdoor tub. Or, of course, do all of the above! The bushland setting offers privacy and the local birdlife creates a gorgeous natural soundtrack. The shack itself has a double bed, small kitchenette with mini fridge, shower, couch, an outdoor setting for the deck, an outdoor setting near the fire pit and an outdoor bath. Jemma, the friendly and welcoming owner, provides freshly laid eggs from the resident hens, milk, tea, coffee, a selection of jams, vegemite, butter, a fre

Crescent Bay, Mount Brown and Remarkable Cave

 Crescent Bay, Mount Brown and Remarkable Cave PUFF-O-METRE   THEN OVERVIEW This is a beautiful day walk that follows some rugged coast line, stunning views and ends at a gorgeous beach with huge dunes. It starts at a large carpark, but it needs to be as this area is a very popular location. The carpark has a lovely viewing platform for some of the coastal cliffs. It also has shelter and public toilets available. Before setting off towards Crescent Bay, it's worth the ten minute delay to head down the staircase to enjoy the view at the Remarkable Cave. It's a bit like a horizontal blowhole however it's far more open therefore you don't get the big burst of water upwards. With that done, it's time to head along the other track towards Crescent Bay. This track is a bit up and down however the elevation doesn't change more than 20m so at no stage does it feel overwhelming. The track is even wide/smooth enough to be able to take off-road prams to the beach. Along th
