"Modelling actually suggested that a package of daywalks (the “benchmark”) would attract more
visitors than either of the multi-day options, but, the Feasibility Study states (p51), “whilst the
benchmark delivers the highest number of potential visitors, it must be noted that this option
provides little difference from the existing day walk products on offer and does not provide as high
economic benefit to Tasmania as the other options due to different visitation patterns and regional
spending.”

Lake Spicer Track (or parallel to as I doubt the 4WDers would appreciate losing their access) to Walford Gap, with an optional sidetrip up Newton Peak. Walford Gap over Walford with the camp/glut site on the flatter area @ around 940m alt approx 500m SW of Walford summit; that way they get their view of Huntley and the Tyndall cliffs without getting too close. Down, then up onto the moraine south of Huntley, curve around between Malcolm and Matthew, south past Mark and up to Farquhar Lookout. Nectar Lakes and the usual (currently off-track) route to the shoulder of Sedgwick. Over the shoulder, optional sidetrip up Sedgwick, past Adam and along the rim to Sedgwick Bluff, then north and zig zag them down to the Lake Margaret Dam and along the pipeline to Lake Margaret township for the last night. Then the vehicle track to Hamilton Moraine and out to Clarke Dam. There would probably need to be a camp/glut site somewhere near Adam.
Minimal new track cutting and a lot of that is over already disturbed/well-explored ground, but it still has dramatic and often spectacular views (when the weather permits).

Not so much make money but recover the costs for PWS (nothing is done at a loss any more), but the real intent of the whole exercise is to secure votes through the (false) promise of the tourism $ it will bring into the West Coast.
