Tasmania (Hobart Region) |
| Cocle Creek | |
| Beyond Lune River and Ida Bay, the unsurfaced Cockle Creek Road takes you past picturesque sheltered bays and scenic coastal forests, where wild flowers bloom in summer, to COCKLE CREEK on the lovely, unspoilt Recherche Bay (pronounced “research” by locals). There are lots of camping spots along the shore, and some people love the area so much that they live here semi-permanently in shacks and old buses – mainly fishing-obsessed retirees after the abundant crayfish, cockles and fish in the bay. | |
| Pit toilets and water are the only facilities. The most popular walk here is the muddy but boardwalked first part of the South Coast Track to the beach at South Cape Bay and back (4hr); the entire length of the track is for the very experienced only, but this portion gives you a small taste. | |
