Port Cygnet Wildlife Sanctuary

PUFF-O-METRE

Overview

This is a lovely coastal walk that takes you from the outskirts of Cygnet village to the Port Cygnet Sailing Club. Along the way you'll be walking on a combination of smooth gravel track and wooden boardwalk.

The track is wide and smooth enough for all types of activities from walking to bike riding to prams or even wheelchairs. The track is dotted with places to stop for a rest whether it's on a park bench or picnic tables.

Dogs are permitted on most of the track, except those parts that are within the designated wildlife sanctuary. There is a small section that they aren't allowed on which is the parklands where the play equipment is. This area can be avoided by sticking to the footpaths instead which allows your best friend to continue walking with you. 

There are public toilets at either end of the trail. One set at the Port Cygnet Sailing Club and the other is a very flash new block in the wildlife sanctuary.

  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...
