   Welcome to Tasmania! Your adventure begins in Launceston – land of the Litarimirina and Panina peoples. This is one of Australia’s oldest settlements and one of only two cities in Australia listed as a UNESCO city of gastronomy. Your adventure begins at 8 am with a drive to the Bay of Fires region, then it’s time for your first walk on the Cobler Rocks Loop. Walk the sandy track through banksia-filled heathland to the beach. Take in the coastline of the Mount William National Park before continuing to Stumpy’s Bay. Stop for a picnic lunch, then set off on your next walk – the Mount William Summit Track. Climb to the highest point to take in the 360-degree views of jagged mountain ranges, tall eucalyptus trees and open plains. After today’s walk, you’ll check into your accommodation for the next two nights in St Helens – perfectly positioned to explore the walking trails of Tasmania’s north-east coast. Tonight, enjoy dinner with your fellow travellers and get to know each other a little better.
   It’s very important that you are at the pick-up point on time this morning to begin your tour. Find more details in the ‘Joining Point Instructions’ section of your Essential Trip Information. Your travel time today will be approximately 4.5 hours. Please wear your hiking boots this morning, as you will head out on your first walk straight away. The Cobler Rocks Loop is a 7km grade 3 track, on a mix of forest fire trails and beaches for the first half, then on granite headlands for the second half. The Mt William summit hike is a 3km grade 3 track. It starts easy with the last few hundred metres becoming challenging before reaching the summit.
