Hobart Walking Club is a recreational walking club based in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, that was started in 1929 by Jack Thwaites and Evelyn Temple Emmett.
[3] It has published its journal The Tasmanian tramp[4] since inception, as well as producing maps[5][6] and other publications over the years.
Considerable effort by members exploring in the South West Tasmania region resulted in photographs and texts explaining access to the many rivers, mountains and tracks of the region, a considerable amount of material appearing in The Tasmanian tramp.
The organisation has also participated in search and rescue events, as well as promoting safety awareness in bushwalking.
[8][9] Most publications by the club, apart from The Tasmanian tramp, were short runs or one-off publishing ventures.
