The track then gently climbs through tall stringybark forest before entering lush and beautiful rainforest. For the next 45-60 minutes we climb steeply to Tatnels Hill, the highest point of the day at 548 metres. From here the climbing subsides and the trail winds downhill before undulating along the coastal escarpment. The frequent views of dramatic towering sea cliffs never fail to impress. The variety of habitats seen on this walk also provide for a great diversity of wildlife. Keep an eye out for echidnas, wombats, potoroos, pademelons and Tasmania’s endemic birdlife including the rare and endangered swift parrot. A colony of little penguins also call Fortescue Bay their home and can sometimes be seen at dusk returning to their burrows.
