The Old Liffey School House building is no longer available for use for overnight stays and camp fires are not permitted.
The School House grounds are available for use provided people are self sufficient. Toilet facilities are also available for use. Trail users are reminded to take rubbish with them (what you take in, you take out).

There is a sign at the beginning of Repulse Road that the road is closed. Please note that this applies to vehicles only; Repulse Road is open to Tasmanian Trail users.
25/9/24 - Stage 16 - point 13.1 km
Sustainable Timber have notified our Southern Coordinator that they will be burning the area around Swearing Bobs Plain/Boney Road/Hopetoun Road on Saturday, 28th September. Please take caution and directions from crews on the ground.
Smoke may be visible from a wider area. Burn off will occur if conditions are favourable.
Stage 9 and Stage 10 Closures
Stages 9 and 10 are now open following the wildfire that burnt though the area on the Central Plateau. The bush land route has now been remarked.
Leaving Gates How You Find Them
Please note that a farmer, who allows the Trail to cross his property, has informed the Association that his farm gates have recently been left open by Trail users, on four separate occasions. As a consequence, stock has entered paddocks of production crops and the farmer is considering withdrawing his support for the Trail. This would result in the Trail being moved to a busy highway.
Please be careful to leave gates as you find them, ensuring that chains and latches are secure where appropriate.
Kensington Park toilet
Please note that the only toilet available at Kensington Park is in the club rooms.
Dogs on the Trail
The Tasmanian Trail Committee wishes to remind Trail users that dogs are not permitted on sections of the Trail which are private property, unless you have obtained permission prior to commencing your journey.
Without the goodwill and cooperation of private landowners, the Tasmanian Trail could not exist. Please treat private property with respect and care.
Guide book update
An updated guide book is now available. See Updates for more information.
Foot-and-mouth disease
An outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease would have severe consequences for Australia's animal health and trade. Tasmania is not immune. Please follow Government guidelines when travelling throughout Tasmania and mainland Australia.
