This is the easiest 16km walk I have done. It is almost flat and takes just under 2hrs each way. At the far end you will reach the South Coast with beautiful beach, clear blue water, seaweeds and kelp. You can also camp at the start of the track near the rangers hut. The track is very well kept and running shoes are fine for most people.
Drive to Cockle Creek (about 2hrs each way) Note the last 20km is dirt road (unsealed).

20minutes from Hobart and a World away. Wear a flannelette shirt! You'll think you are in the outback. Numerous wood fires indoors and out. Its where all tradies go, right next to a clear rocky river (waters from Mt Wellington). Great schnitzels

This Thai restaurant in Franklin is a gem. The food is superb and quite a surprise. They use plenty of herbs and have local variations on the dine-in menu eg massaman salmon. The dine-in menu is much more complex.
