Hike in, camp, fish, fire?

[Mach7]

Hi All

I am a bit stuck for ideas at the moment. I have had a work commitment rearrange my plans for me and I cannot go to Port Davey. I was planning on a kayak out to Spain Bay, do a little fishing, once outside the protected areas, and then explore Bathurst Harbour a little.

Unfortunately it is no longer possible and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for a short hike and camp, my desires are;

4ish hours walking
camping (hammock or ground with tarp shelters, don't need a huge amount of clear space)
fishing (coastal or lake that is open year round)
a fire would be great (considering it is July and we use a wood gas stove, the risk of rampant bush fire should be minimal)

I know it is asking a lot and I am happy to tick only a few boxes or take any suggestions, just wanted to show my interstate relatives something other than Freycinet and Cockle Creek/Recerche Bay. Somewhere a bit out of the way.

Thanks in advance for any ideas or tips, all is welcome and appreciated.

Thanks
Matt

As far as I'm aware, Douglas Apsley NP is the only Tasmanian NP where fires are allowed at certain times of year.

You can drive in,
Do as much walking as you like, plenty of fish and wildlife.
And light a fire.

Within the park camping is allowed at Springlawn, the horse yards, Bakers Point and Koybaa (see map). A self-registration system for campers operates from the Springlawn Visitor Centre. Most campsites have tables and hybrid toilets.

Fires are permitted at Bakers Point and Horse Yards campgrounds in the designated fire places.

At Springlawn there are septic toilets, a shower block (small fee for 4 minute tokens, available from Visitor Centre), powered sites and electric barbecues. The park is easily reached from either Devonport or Launceston, which have plenty of accommodation. Nearby Port Sorell and Greens Beach also offer camping and other accommodation outside the park.

Thanks for the ideas guys. Went to Douglas apsley for short spell. Was fantastic. No fishing and only had a small fire in the bush buddy but really enjoyed it.
