Stoneycreek wrote:I've heard one of the reason this track is proposed is that it would utilised existing tracks, eg white timber trail, and this concerns me as the mob who is funding it say that the feasibility study is only going to look at it being a walkers only track, which might mean the track would restrict access to people who currently use it for example trail riders and mountain bike users.
I might be barking up the wrong tree seeing that this is bush walking forum ;-P but I think this proposed track would be of greater enjoyment to tourists and local alike if it (or parts of it ) were designed from the start as a multi user trail.
Have other users had much experience with multi user track and the like?

I'm thinking multi use along the west wellington range and back of lonnavale.

while a strong advocate for the track stated " along the East-West Trail which offers magnificent views & a real wilderness experience"
outside of its accessibility to Hobart, what would the proposed track offer bush walkers? I haven't walked any of it, is it any (any of it) good?

East-West Trail is a fire trail and the most boring walk on Earth.

walkinTas wrote:So, basically if you had a walk from Hobart to the Snowy Range and then on to Maydena, and another walk from Mt. Field to Lake St. Claire, it would be possible to walk from Penguin to Hobart. (Edit: Not quite the length of Tasmania, but ...)
