Coningham Clifftop Track

-


PUFF-O-METRE


Overview

This track has 2 starting points, one at Coningham Beach off Coningham Road and the other at the other end of Coningham Road at the Coningham Point carpark. For this blog post we started our walk at Coningham Beach, went round to the other carpark and then returned. If you wanted to make this track a shorter walk then you could have a vehicle at either end.

This is a dog friendly, on lead, track however if you're starting at the Coningham Beach end you will need to walk the first 100m by the footpath on Coningham Road as the beach is not dog friendly.

The traffic is a mixture of crafted steps, gravel track, leafy foliage track and rocks. There's very little elevation change however there are two short sections that have you climb fairly steeply.

At the southern end of the track there used to be a section that was 100m of steep elevation change however this has since been removed from the trail by a deviation along a flatter section.

The track itself boasts some stunning views, whether it be Coningham Beach and Legacy Beach or simply looking off the cliff faces at Bruny Island and Mount Wellington.

      There is a lovely coffee shop at Woodbridge which used to be the general store. There are also a number of nice ones at Kettering

  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...
