TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Hi, I just joined the forum in order to reply.
We did the South Coast Track in March and used our warbonnet blackbirds the whole time. We had no problems finding a good hang, just avoid the tea trees and go for the stronger birches.

All main campsite have large enough trees.
Please talk to parks first and remember that many of the coastal trees are really fragile. Use the widest protectors you have and don't go without. Please.

Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.

I had a customer do it a while back in one of my hammocks. Good advice already given above.
