Day walk on King Island

[jcr_au]

I gave my wife a 4 day weekend on King Island as a Christmas present (& I get to go as well).

Now I'm trying to find a day walk on the Island. Has anyone got any suggestions. We'll be there at the end of February & hope to have a hire car to get around.

I haven't been to King Island, but the Seal Rocks and Calcified Rocks area is supposed to worth visiting.

Thanks for that.

I was hoping for something a bit longer but couldn't find anything on Google.

Main reason fort this destination is to get away from it and get a great feed of cray, not in that order. A 15-20km day walk would be a bonus

There is the Lavinia State Reserve in the NE part of the island and a coastal track (Nook Swamps Track) that is nearly 20km long that extends from one end of the reserve to the other. I think there are some basic picnic facilities at both ends - Pennys Lagoon and Sea Elephant River, there would be nothing in between, not sure of water, camping options. The reserve was mostly burnt to a cinder a few years ago. It would be worth contacting the Parks Ranger on King Island - Shelly Davidson for options.
