Hi All,
The Tasmanian Trail is over 460k long, extending from
Devonport in the north to Dover in theSouth. Plans are
underway to extend the trail even further to Cockle Creek in
the south, a possible loop around Mt Roland in the north,
connecting with the soon to be opened DooleyTrail from
Ulverstone to Lemonthyne.
Anyone who has ridden the trail knows that it isn't easy,
but, it is even harder trying to make sure the Trail stays
open and viable for MTB users. Most of the limited time
available to our co-ordinator is spent trying to chase
funds to continue work on the Trail. This includes
replacing markers, improving campsites and identifying new
loops and trails.
This is a resource that shouldn't be lost to cyclists. If
you have done the trail, or intend to do it some time in the
future then I urge you to write to Tasmania's politicians to
ensure that funding is maintained.
PLEASE - Write to The Hon. Paul Lennon Minister for Sport
and Recreation Parliament House Hobart 7000
The Hon Brian Green Minister for Tourism Parliament House
Hobart 7000
or email to

and we'll pass your message along.
