Maria Island is located on the east coast and is abounding with history and natural beauty.This weekend is going to be a “Choose your own Adventure” style, choosing from beach visits, short heritage trails and through to full day mountain walks. You can even hire a bike for a day!
The flexible activity arrangements and the great facilities make this trip suitable for people of all ability levels, providing you don't mind sleeping in a tent.
If you would like to come for this weekend, you must book your own ferry trip.
The ferry costs $64 per adult and $39 per child return and can be booked here: https://encountermaria.com.au/timetable-pricing-luggage-check/ . We will plan to take the 11.30am ferry on the 8th from Triabunna and the 2.30pm ferry on the 10th from Maria Island.
We will be camping at the Darlington campground, where there is a camp kitchen (with BBQs and gas cooktops), toilets and rainwater. There is an approximately 500m walk from the ferry to the campground, however, there are trolleys for all the gear, so it allows for heavier items (larger tents, eskys etc) to be brought if desired.
For more information on what is on offer on Maria, head to the PWS website: https://parks.tas.gov.au/explore-our-parks/maria-island-national-park
Gear list to bring: cooking equipment (pots/pans, utensils), crockery and cutlery, food (there is no fridge, but eskys are often sufficient for a couple of days), camping equipment (tent, sleeping mat, sleeping bag, pillow).
If you're interested in this walk, please talk to the walk leader Hannah Waterhouse (0427 026 233).
Meeting time is 8am from Door of Hope. Please arrange any other meeting locations with the walk leader.
