As part of our weekend in Tasmania Xuan and I drove about 70 kilometres out of Hobart to the Huon Valley to experience the Tahune Forest AirWalk which is a 597 metre walk 20 metres above the ground. The highlight of the walk is the cantilever which protrudes out from the main walk structure giving amazing views of the surrounding forest and the junction of the Picton and Huon Rivers. It was a little scary though as the cantilever swayed in the wind and bounced while you walked.
We also did the Huon Pine Walk which took us across two suspension bridges over the Picton and Huon Rivers. You’re supposed to leave a 10 metre gap between walkers for safety while crossing the bridges. The bridges bounced and swayed heaps as you walked on them. Now that was a pretty amazing experience.

This looked like a cool trip. What is the midget Kangaroo called?
The midget Kangaroo is called a wallaby
Wonderful! I’ve done zip lines, but there isn’t always time to take it all in at that speed. I love the “air walk” idea! Nice photos!
How long it takes to complete the whole track? Will it be difficult for a senior citizen to take the walk? Thanks.
The main loop walk takes about 20 minutes and doesn’t have any steep inclines so it’s quite easy and will be manageable by most people.
