The author of Classic Hikes of the World: 23 Breathtaking Treks (and many other books) is at it again.

This time he’s down under hiking a new coastal route:

Tasmania is a phenomenal place to hike, uncrowded and aggressively scenic. Just as winter sets in for North America and Europe, hiking season is just beginning here. And even after a full couple of weeks on the trail, I feel I’ve only gotten my feet wet. …

Peter is editor of GreatOutdoors.com, and gives advice on how to hike Tasmania in his trip report:

We’ve got information pages on other great Tassie hikes, Overland and South Coast Tracks on our list of the best hikes in Australasia.

And Peter is already in New Zealand.
