Capture the sounds and scenes as you hike along a trail from the Table Cape lookout to the Table Cape lighthouse. Rachel Meyers, a renowned Tasmanian sound artist, composer and musician recorded and created the “listenings” of Table Cape and its surrounds which can be accessed through a downloadable app. The app tracks your location on the walk and triggers the soundscape as you wander the windswept cliff line. The walk takes approximately 30 minutes one way, taking your time to enjoy the sensory experience. It is free of charge and available at any time.

Plan your trip to the North West of Tasmania to take part in Permission to Trespass. Everything from accommodation, experiences and amazing food and drink.
The magnificent plateau of Table Cape is by far one of the North West’s most remarkable natural wonders. Sitting at 180 metres high, ‘The Cape’ – as locals refer to it – dominates the Wynyard coastline and offers spectacular views of Tasmania’s coast and agricultural farmlands. The air is crisp and the rich, chocolate brown, volcanic soil is highly productive which makes an extraordinary place for produce to be grown.
