family Bushwalks in Tasmania

[Snowyroey]

We are headin to Tassie in January 2013 and looking for a 3-4 day alpine/sub alpine walk for a family to do while we are there. We looked at the Mt Anne circuit, but that may be byond our kids (10, 12, 14 yo). We are very experienced having done lots in WA, Tas, NSW, and NZ and are used to Alpine conditions. Prefer not the Overland Track due to numbers and time, but this maybe the best one to do. Are there any good walks that we could look at around Walls of Jerusalem or SW NP?

Surely you'd have an idea if you've done lots of walking in Tas?

If the kids are strong walkers they might be able to do the Anne circuit, I've heard of people taking kids that young on the Arthurs. Best bet would probably be atrip to Pine Valley with day trips to the Labyrinth and Acropolis or a trip to the walls camping at Dixons Kingdom, day trips to Solomons Throne and Jerusalem.

A three day trip to Mt. Ossa via the Arm River Track would be good too, fairly easy yet satisfying.

When you say you're experienced, with or without the kids?

G'day mjdalessa,
Do you want to walk or prop (camp) and walk as a wander into Lees Paddocks could well suit your Alpine/ Sub Alpine needs .
Camp in the Paddocks (Wadleys Creek area as a preference) then head up into the Cathedral Range or Pelion East, swim in the Mersey and have a real campfire if you want

Not sure what was going on while you were composing the first sentence, but the campfire sounds good

Sorry I let my mind wander a wee bit and I can be overly cryptic at times what I meant was do you want to walk to a destination set up camp(prop) then do other walks from there and back to you campsite.
