🍃 Cape Raoul - Tasmania Short Walks.
🍃 Cape Raoul - Tasmania Short Walks.
Cape Raoul is located on the Tasman Peninsula, an area of land in the southeast of Tasmania that is surrounded by stunning cliffs, beautiful bays and a blue ocean.
The highlight of the Tasman Peninsula is the stunning coastline, and on this walk, you will see some lovely views.
We continue on our mission to complete all of the 60 Great Short Walks of Tasmania; this time, it's Cape Raoul at 14 kilometres. This is the longest one we have done so far.
The Cape Raoul walk is one of the 60 Great Short Walks of Tasmania
The Walk - 14 kilometres Return - 5 Hours - Grade 4
At the start of the track there is an information board and a book to register your walk, then clean your boots and follow the track.
At the beginning of the walk you pass over several sections of duckboards, then walk mostly uphill through the Stringybark and Blue Gum forest.
After walking for about half an hour (approx. 2 kilometres) you’ll reach the Cape Raoul lookout with stunning views of the coastline and the deep blue water of the Tasman Sea.
From the lookout it is almost a continuous windy descent downhill to Cape Raoul, with a number of switchbacks and steps. This section is a great walk on the way to Cape Raoul and pretty tough on the way back.
After walking though the covered forest, the track then emerges back out onto the coastline with more amazing views.
You then walk through a section of low coastal scrubby heath before you catch a glimpse of the tall walls of fluted Dolerite along the cliffs.
The track then opens out to a rocky area with great views of the cliffs and several look out spots. Its a nice spot to stop for a snack and some photos.
You then continue over the duckboard path and through the low lying bush and coastal heathland to the Cape Raoul and Seal Bay lookouts. You will pass a large tarn, which on our hike was full of water and looked amazing.
Along the track you come to a sign with two options Seal Rock Lookout or Cape Raoul Lookout, both are about 5 minutes walk.
Seal Rock Lookout
Excellent views of Cape Raoul and you may see or hear seals basking on the rocks below.
Cape Raoul Lookout
A great viewing platform where you can look down on Cape Raoul and out across the Tasman Sea.
Notes:
Remember to register your walk at the information hut at the beginning of the walk and clean your boots.
Toilets available near the car parking area.
A valid Tasmanian National Park pass is required.
Directions to Cape Raoul Walking Track
From Port Arthur travel along the Arthur Highway, until it becomes Nubeena Road.
Continue along Nubeena Road, then turn left onto Stormlea Road.
Follow this road all the way to the end, this road is sealed except for the last kilometre or so. You will then reach the carpark and the start of the walking track.
