Hike Summary

This is an urban track between the houses and the clifftop, with spectacular views over the mouth of the Derwent and Blackmans Bay from Taroona down to the Iron Pot. Aboriginal people also gathered here. A large midden has been concealed and protected to enable the track to pass safely over. Blackmans Bay Coastcare Group continue to restore the coastal vegetation along this track.

Safety

Narrow bush track with multiple steps. Do not approach cliff edges. Closely supervise children.

About the region

Blackmans Bay is a beachside suburb of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. Blackmans Bay south of Hobart was named after a James Blackman who occupied land there in the 1820s while another "Blackman Bay", near Dunalley (also in Tasmania) was so named in 1642 because of the presence of Aboriginal people. The town is located adjacent to Kingston, and is approximately fourteen kilometres south of Hobart.

Getting there

The Suncoast Headlands Track is accessed from south of the Blackmans Bay Beach, Pengana Place, Flowerpot Cres and Suncoast Drive.

Tips

Narrow bush track with multiple steps. Do not approach cliff edges. Closely supervise children.
