Information

Cape Raoul is one of Tasmania's 60 Great Short Walks to reach stunning coastal seascapes that include rock platforms, towering cliffs and columns, off-shore islands and swirling seas.

What starts as a pleasant bushwalk soon turns into a stunning journey. The track climbs through open forest to a cliff edge. From there the walk traverses through heath and light forest with stunning coastal scenery all the way out to Cape Raoul. The dolerite cape drops dramatically into the ocean. Keep an eye out for seals on the rocks and small islands below.?

5 hours return, 16km
Grade 4: Bushwalking experience recommended. Tracks may be long, rough and very steep. Directional signage may be limited.
