Maybe a good alternative if the Overland Track is overcrowded. The South Coast Track in the southwest of Tasmania is beautiful and lonely, and plenty of opportunity to enjoy the ocean and beaches, as well as rainforests (and mud). Since there are no roads to the Melaleuca trailhead, you must organize a boat from Port Davey, or plane, or walk!
