Hike Summary
The trail follows the route of a former logging tram line so there are no steep hills. There are patches of rainforest and it’s generally a lush environment even in mid-summer. Wielangta is a local Aboriginal name meaning 'tall trees’.
For more information on this trail see the book Rail Trails of Tasmania.
