You're spoiled for choice for walks in Tasmania, particularly on the Cradle Coast on the west of the island.
But you don't have to set out for a full day's hike - with all the gear in tow - to enjoy the region's natural beauty.
There's now a great online resource, with an interactive map, detailing the many short walks in the region.
The Huon Pine Walk at Corinna takes around 20 minutes and is a breezy stroll under a canopy of conifers.
Dip Falls, between Stanley and Wynyard, is also a must-see and considered one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Tassie.
Pack a picnic and take the 2km track to Big Tree Reserve afterward to sit at the base of magificent old growth trees.
And while thousands of hikers embark of Cradle Mountain's Overland Track every year, there are plenty of shorter trails to choose from if you're after a day walk.
Starting from Cradle Mountain Lodge, Knvey Falls is a scenic 45 minutes walk, while the Enchanted Walk is a 20-minute boardwalk circuit with three interpretive tunnels.
You can also head to the Interpretation Centre for the 10-minute Pencil Pine Falls and Rainforest Walk.
And good news for anyone wanting to experience the spectacular views at Horsetails Falls near Queenstown. There is a new relatively easy walk suitable for most visitors who journey down the scenic Lyell Highway.
Hugging the craggy hills, the boardwalk takes walkers closer to the falls, which cascade over 50 metres down the steep cliff face. The boardwalk was designed by a local company to replace an informal track, and is now safe in wet weather.
Nearby the Lake St Clair, Franklin Nature Trail, Nelson Falls and Donaghys Hill walks make this area a new walking destination in its own right.
