Postcard from Australia - Three Capes Walk Tasmania - Day Four

April 2024 - our last day on the Three Capes walk - 14km. We are walking with a full pack and the day begins with lots and lots of stairs. It is a steep walk up Mt Fortescue. I don’t mind the climb as the scenery is stunning: lush rainforest: moss covered trees; fungi and ferns. We continued the walk to Cape Hauy. You can leave your pack at the top of the loop out to the cape and just take a day pack. We start down the steep stone stairs as it begins to rain. We didn’t make it all the way out to the end of the cape as heavy rain set in. The rain lifted as we walked into Fortescue Bay. A bus takes you back to Port Arthur. We get home, we eat non-hydrated food and have a hot shower. We enjoy the home comforts but we are already missing the beauty of the Three Capes.
