Hi All,
Can anyone offer any information on the walks in the Styx Valley? Aiming to visit there when in Tasmania in May. Haven't been there (although son and I have done the big trees track at Mt Field on a previous trip). Found some info and a sketch map on the Wilderness Society web site:
http://www.wilderness.org.au/campaigns/forests/tasmania/styx/styx_walking_guide
It looks essentially like a forest drive interspersed with a series of short (easy?) walks. The map has no scale so I can't get a good perception of the distances involved, although the notes do specify some driving distances. Is it possible to do all of the walks they describe in a single day? Are most of the tracks easy enough for a reluctant non-bushwalker (my wife)?
Also would it be wise to take 1:25,000 map/s (which one/s)? I already own the 4 Tasmap 1:250,000 series if they would do the job.
Any info appreciated.
Regards,
JohnW
