Open Day on the Penguin Cradle Trail with Wildcare Friends of Penguin Cradle Trail
Coast to Cradle Wild Country
As part of the Coast to Cradle Wild Country community-led vision for a multi-use nature reserve for the Penguin to Cradle Mountain wild landscape, our Wildcare Friends of the Penguin Cradle Trail group (FoPCT) were invited to lead an open day walk on part of the trail.
A keen group of 20 mostly local people joined us for a short walk along the very scenic Keddies Creek in the Dial Range to a junction with a new track put in by the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service (PWS). The day gave people the opportunity to discover more of the extraordinary natural values and scenery to be found in their backyard.
The walk along this section of Keddies Creek passes by a variety of vegetation including many stands of tree fern, (we even found orchids) and eventually flows into the Leven River.
The Keddies Creek track joins a new PWS loop track.
There could be worse places to enjoy lunch...
Orchids are also found along the tracks in the Dial Range.
The Leven River and the PCT follow a path through a diverse landscape linking the sea to the mountains. Besides being a Wild Country destination for us, it also has a diverse plant and animal community that call it home.
All images freely supplied by several walkers on the day.

The Penguin Cradle Trail is an important part of the Coast to Cradle Wild Country. A working group is bringing together a community-led vision for the Coast to Cradle Wild Country, and are inviting the community to drive and shape this vision so it captures their dreams for the future of this very special place.
