Here’s some good news for fans of walking holidays in Tasmania.
Final concept designs will soon be released for the state’s next ‘Iconic Walk' near the Tyndall Range on the island's west coast.
Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service has locked in a track route, and lookouts and huts have been designed for the 28km/3-day walk.
The track, situated inland from Queenstown and Tullah, will run north-south between Lake Plimsoll and Lake Margaret.
Project director Keith Ryan told ABC Radio Northern Tasmania the walk will start off along an existing four-wheel drive track known as Lake Spicer Track, and will finish at the old Lake Margaret Power Station.
He said the location was chosen after an "exhaustive" process following a 2019 report that examined 35 sites around the state.
"The Tyndall Range came out on top of that exercise essentially because of the unique landscape and mix of geology and history," he said.
Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service will host a series of public information sessions for this next Iconic Walk project in August and September 2024.
Members of the public are invited to attend and view the concept plans for the first time, including proposed hut designs, maps of the track route and early interpretation themes for the walk.
