StepScape
What is StepScape?
This site is working towards showing every published Tasmanian day walk on a single map.
StepScape is currently a work in progress, showing half of an estimated 3,000 published bushwalks in Tasmania.
StepScape is also available as an app for iPhone and iPad.
Read about what the StepScape app does differently from this website.
Caution
This site is a list of walks, not a walking guide. Before undertaking any walk, consult the references provided.
Most of the references made every attempt at accuracy but did not guarantee it. Some are books that are now out of print, so information that was once accurate may not remain so. Changes may include:
- Land becoming private or reserved
- Tracks being damaged or rehabilitated
- Road access being blocked
- Bad weather or bushfires temporarily making a walk unsafe

The StepScape website was created by Cowirrie, a small software development company in Launceston. We take information and present it so it is accessible and useful to people. Our other work includes the SepiaScape guides to historic Tasmania and the PBPhonics app for basic English literacy practice.
We have also taken some of these walks ourselves, and written comprehensive walk reports about them.
