Remember the safe walking guidelines
Walker safety - day walks
When you plan to walk in Tasmania, plan for the possibility of bad weather and unexpected situations. Conditions in Tasmania can change at any time of year.
Choose a walk that matches your group’s fitness and experience. The track classification guide explains walk difficulty ratings and can help you choose a suitable track.
Grade 4 and 5 walks can be especially challenging and may include steep climbs, rocky ground, mud, cliffs, or require navigation skills.
For all walks:
If you are walking in remote areas or conditions are uncertain, carry extra food, and a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB). Consider taking an emergency shelter or tent. Learn about the dangers of cold by watching the hypothermia safety video. The safety video is also available with Chinese subtitles.
More information on planning, including recommended gear lists, is available on our Safety in Parks web page.
