South Coast Track upgrade
Buoy Creek Plains completed track
Tasmania's Parks and Wildlife Service is continuing its upgrade of much of the South Coast Track. The completed works include sections of new track, significant boardwalk repairs, and drainage and erosion control works. Surprise Bay has a new bridge, and Louisa River has a new toilet. These improvements build on the work already completed as part of a four-year $2 million project that has resulted in the construction of a new boardwalk in the Deadmans Bay and Freney Lagoon area, new footbridges at Melalueca Inlet and Moth Creek, and replacement of boats and other upgrades at the New River Lagoon crossing.
