Keys
A few locked gates will be encountered along the Trail which can be unlocked with the Tasmanian Trail key. There is also one toilet and one campsite that are only accessible with the key. Keyed assets such as these are noted in the guidebook.
A decision needs to be made well in advance if you need to obtain a key as it will need to be posted to you prior to commencing your trek. An Australian address is preferable. Please allow three weeks for the key to arrive.
Keys are made available to members only (one key per member). The hire fee is AU$100 (for all members) and is refunded when the key is returned, less an administrative fee of $20. You can include the key fee when completing a membership application (click here) or pay for the key separately if you are already a member (click here, when logged in).
Please note that keys must be returned to the address from which they are mailed/collected.
