Goblin Forest walk is one of Tasmania's 60 Great Short Walks. The 60 Great Short Walks offer the best of Tasmania's day walking opportunities. Twenty minute circuit - 400m. Grade 1. No bushwalking experience required. Flat even surface with no steps or steep sections. Suitable for wheelchair users who have someone to assist them. This 400m loop walk takes visitors through some beautiful rainforest. This rainforest is regenerating strongly after the ravages of tin mining. Leaving from Poimena car park, the Goblin Forest Walk is short, easy and wheelchair-friendly. This acknowledges the strong community work of a local identity, Clarence Strochnetter, who was a wheelchair user. His is one of many fascinating local stories told in some on-site interpretive panels. The track surface is compacted gravel and elevated boardwalk. There is an accessible toilet next to the carpark. The carpark is flat and gravelled, but there are no designated disabled car spaces. The wider Blue Tier area has a series of other tracks that offer a variety of experience, length, and level of challenge for both walkers and mountain bike riders. Please refer to the Parks and Wildlife Service Tasmania website for up-to-date information about this walk, alerts, closures, safe walking guidelines, leave no trace principles and National Park entry fees where applicable.
