This guide covers all the main tracks and routes in South West and Wild Rivers National Parks in Tasmania. This covers the southern half of the Western Tasmania World Heritage Area. Track notes for the northern half are in another guide, Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park. Contains comprehensive track notes, brief background notes on history, botany and geology, comprehensive planning and preparation notes and access details. Walks described are South Coast Track, South West Cape, Port Davey Track, Huon & McKays Tracks, Precipitious Bluff (Southern Ranges), Picton Range, Federation Peak and approaches (Eastern Arthurs and Farmhouse Creek), Western Arthur Range, Mt Anne, and Frenchmans Cap. Included as brief planning notes are the West Coast (Strahan to Port Davey), the Frankland Range, the Denison, Spires and King William Ranges and also a new section of Other Routes which includes Mt Hopetoun, Old River to Federation Peak, White Monolith Range, Vanishing Falls, Mt Norold and the Prince of Wales Range. If you are intending to walk here then I recommend you read the literature provided by National Parks. Travel has changed and Tassielink no longer run scheduled buses - the only regular provider to Scottos Peak, Cockle Creek, the Huon Track etc is Evans Coaches.. For first time visitors to the region, be careful how you use the suggested walking times. The times given are the normal range for fit experienced walkers who are used to the conditions.… (mais)

This book covers the area between the Lyell Highway and the south coast. It includes descriptions of most of Tasmania’s famous epic tracked walks, with brief descriptions of some off track routes such as the Frankland Range and the West Coast thrown in to complete the picture. However there are no descriptions of “hero walks” like the Prince of Wales Range or Vanishing Falls. The text is clear and well written with useful supporting information on subjects like planning and natural history, as well as fairly detailed walk descriptions.

While the guide is entirely in black and white, it includes plenty of photos and the layout and book design is fairly user friendly. The only drawbacks are that coverage of off track walks is necessarily brief and the book is almost a decade old. However very little has changed in the South West except for a few rerouted tracks that are clearly signposted, so the book is still valuable and not as obsolete as a ten year old guide would be in more civilized areas. Updates are available on the author’s website. Chapman is currently preparing a fifth edition which may be out by the end of 2007. --© David Sisson
