Important Safety Information
The Eastern Arthur Range Traverse is considered one of Australia’s most demanding bushwalking routes due to its remote location and rugged terrain. The track features many steep cliff sections—some as steep as 85 degrees—where rock scrambling and pack hauling are required. Tragically, there have been fatalities along this track.
Only HIGHLY experienced walkers should attempt this track. Please see the Eastern Arthur Range Traverse page for walk information.
This is a serious and difficult multi-day Grade 5 level wilderness track. Strong navigation skills using a map and compass are essential, as the track is often poorly marked or indistinct. Mobile phones should not be relied upon for navigation or communication. Carrying a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) is strongly encouraged.
The weather in Tasmania's remote national parks can be notoriously unpredictable and at times, dangerous. Understand the weather forecast for the duration of your walk and observe sunrise and sunset times. (Strathgordon and Geeveston are suggested towns for the forecast depending on current weather patterns).
Individuals are responsible for their own safety and assessment of their capabilities to undertake the EART. Please read our Safety in Parks information in preparation for this walk.
The EART is accessed by three trailheads: Huon Track, Port Davey Track (Scotts Peak Road) and Farmhouse Creek. You can choose which trailhead you start and finish at. Check the STT and PWS pages for road closures and emergency information before you go: Road and track closures and Alerts - Parks & Wildlife Service Tasmania.

A valid parks pass is required for entry to Tasmania's national parks.
