Day 2: The Three Capes Track Begins - Audiobook Adventures & Crescent Bay Conversations

The day’s walk features the Remarkable Caves section, a scenic and soul-stirring start. Along the trail, we’ll begin the first listening session of Sally Hepworth’s latest audiobook — a moving, immersive way to pair the power of place with the intimacy of story. We pause at stunning Crescent Bay for a picnic lunch and our first group book club-style discussion, guided by Sally herself. In the late afternoon, we arrive at our coastal camp, where there's time to unwind, shower, and soak up the scenery. Then, as the sun dips, we gather for “Bubbles & Books” — a pre-dinner session of oysters, sparkling wine, and conversation about the books that changed your life. Sally will open the discussion, and the magic unfolds from there. The evening wraps up with a generous dinner and good company under the stars.
Day 3: Cape Raoul Challenge, Deep Listening & Book Club Connection
Approximately 5-6 hours walking
This is the most challenging and rewarding day of the walk, covering around 16 kilometres to and from the dramatic Cape Raoul. With wild cliffs, open sky, and the Southern Ocean roaring below, it’s a day to push your limits and let your mind wander.

Midway through the walk, we cue up the next section of Sally’s audiobook for another immersive listening session on the move. After a scenic trailside lunch, we press on before arriving back at camp in the late afternoon — perhaps with time for a bracing ocean swim. As the golden hour sets in, it’s time again for “Bubbles & Books,” where Sally leads a final group discussion based on the latest section of the book. These campfire-style conversations bring the stories to life in a fresh, shared way that only happens when you walk, listen, and reflect together. The night rounds out with delicious platters and a hearty dinner to refuel body and soul.
Day 4: Final Q&A, Waterfall Bluff Walk & Bangor Vineyard Farewell
Approximately 3-4 hours walking
Our final morning begins with a relaxed Q&A session with Sally Hepworth over coffee at camp. This is your chance to ask all your lingering questions — whether you're dreaming of writing your own novel, navigating plot holes, or just curious about how Sally brings her characters to life.

Based on field team feedback, we’ve made this a dedicated session so everyone can get involved and inspired. By 10am, we lace up one last time for a beautiful walk to Waterfall Bluff, a peaceful and fitting finale to the Three Capes Track experience.

We return to Hobart in the late afternoon, with drop-offs at MACq 01 or the airport between 4-5pm. If flying out, be sure to book your departure after 5pm to allow time for a smooth transition.
