CAPE CRUSADE

Coming soon to Australia’s newest wilderness walk are Australia’s newest lodges. High-end hiking outfit Tasmanian Walking Company will open two shelters along the Three Capes Track when it launches its guided four-day, 46-kilometre walks late this year. The solar- and wind-powered lodges, at Surveyor’s Cove and Munro, will sleep 14 guests in seven rooms on high rotation – the company plans three departures a week in peak season. Founded by former airline chiefs Brett Godfrey and Geoff Dixon, Tasmanian Walking Company has the monopoly on Tasmania’s great walks; it also operates the Bay of Fires and Cradle Mountain Huts walks, as well as Victoria’s Twelve Apostles Lodge Walk. taswalkingco.com.au
