What a treasure. You could push a stroller or wheelchair with ease. Beautiful wide track, not one stair. Length was noted as between 25 - 45 minutes, it depends on how long you spend staring in wonder at the nature. Really loved this area. Beautiful place for a picnic, tables available. I'd love this walk at my back door it would encourage me to do it daily.

The Blue Derby network of mountain bike trails is one of the absolute best I have ever come across, it’s something for everybody, including beginners and intermediate and advanced. Plan ahead, book your higher bicycle, and book your shuttles in advance as they can fill up in the busy season. You can ride to the top, or shuttles are generally $10 per ride, or $55 for a full day of unlimited shuttles. Long rides like the classic Blue Tier ride (42km) are amazing but may be closed after wet weather. Absolutely world-class trails, there’s a reason the Enduro World Champs are held here!

Level playing fields for football, cricket, soccer etc. A basket ball hoop off to the side, to add to the entertainment, a cricket cage for practice, exercise equipment, a kiddies safety cycle road set up, a great kids play ground, picnic and bbq facilities, gazebos, toilet facilities, a surrounding walk track, lots of parking, situated right beside kms of river walk tracks, dogs allowed on a leash.. this place ticks all the boxes. Nice to see the new bridge beside the park to allow access to the town side of the river after the last was washed away in flooding. Hats off to New Norfolk council for this great park!

We actually stopped at Marion's lookout as part of the Overland track but the lookout hike makes a wonderful day hike as well. We started from Ronny creek in drizzle and by the time we reached Marion's lookout the sky was clearing and we got stunning views of Cradle Mtn, Dove Lake and vicinity. It's a great rest stop or place for a picnic. Families with young children can do the hike and we even witnessed a birthday party for a youngster while eating our lunch. You need a park pass but the day hike is free. Be sure to go prepared for all kinds of weather as we witnessed rapid changing weather.

I just completed the guided, catered version of overland track (overnight hut accomodation) with The Tasmanian Walking Company and 12 members of my extended family including my 75 year old parents, my 15 year old teenage daughter and her 5 year old cousin, my siblings and their families. It was incredible! The landscape was wild and beautiful. Each day we experienced such interesting and diverse landscapes that varied from fog on the moors and high lakes to bright sunshine whilst swimming in local waterholes or heading up to the summit of Mt Doris through the "Japanese gardens" and up Mt Ossa. We were very grateful to be walking in the company of of three fantastically good humoured, professional and thoughtful guides, Silas, Carla and Mikael. It was a very memorable and meaningful family holiday that reconnected us and reminded us all for how precious and wonderful the natural world is.

Completed the Three Capes Track with a group of friends - what an amazing adventure - stunning scenery - excellent accommodation and cooking facilities.. very surprised by the cabins and cooking areas that have been built. The rangers chat each night was very educational and a highlight to the coming day. Not a hike to complete in warm weather as some of the track is in full sun with no option of shade...

Beautiful sections through forest, tree ferns and granite. Gentle uphill gradient to Billycock Hill and wonderful ride down to Scottsdale. Take plenty of water if it’s warm.

We hiked to the lookout, then hiked down to the beach. It states 1.5 hrs return from lookout, but going down took 30-40 minutes as it is down hill. Once you get to the beach, it is absolutely beautiful. We spent some time relaxing there, you can walk along the water, spend as long as you want, even go for a swim! Toilets are located here also. You can continue to the Hazards beach or walk back up to the top. Beware, this is strenuous, 1000 steps back up. We stopped few times to rest as we are only moderately fit. But it was all worth it. Must do if you can.

Maydena Bike Park is a gravity-focused mountain bike park open now in Tasmania’s Derwent Valley. Designed and built by renowned trail company, Dirt Art, our world-class trails will offer something for everyone, from families through to elite riders. With an ever growing network of unique gravity trails as well as a retail bike shop, workshop, café and bar you can focus on riding more.
Seriously you cannot go passed Maydena Bike Park, an easy flight from Melbourne and a spectacular drive of around 80 minutes to the Bike Park. It is soooo easy. Accommodation is in abundance and super close to the Park, you just need to do a little planning for food, which is no biggy. The Park has really good food options and caters for many dietary needs. The Power Bowl was my fave and don't forget to add the chicken and beans. The Park staff are just off the charts, the crew there were amazing. NOTHING was too hard. We had bike issues, all sorted and done fast, then we had a small first aid issue, again cleaned up and riding on the next shuttle. The service is great and the Beers on tap are truly a treat, post riding of course ;) The Park itself is just MTBing heaven, so much gravity and flow with so much variety. I would class our style of riding as a Black run average but I can tell you that we had fun on all the trails. Some of the greens were amazing. It is just a super fun place to ride with a really chilled out atmosphere. I would rate my experience right up there as an International MTBing destination. Well done to the Team at Maydena, the place just keeps on getting better and better.

A secluded beach and great for kids and adults alike . kids had fun building sandcastles and sand sculptures and paddle in the water. 3 different entrance points to this long beach and good parking. Great to relax and wash away the worries of the world as you link with nature. A must visit if in Bicheno
