Arthur River

The tiny west coast settlement of Arthur River is the northern entry to the Western Explorer to Corinna. From Arthur River you can also head into the forest for four-wheel drive explorations or take a cruise on the lower reaches of the Arthur River. The Arthur River flows through tall eucalypt forests and rainforests to the sea.
The town borders the Arthur-Pieman River Protected Area and you will find facilities for camping, picnics and barbecues.
The Western Explorer route is unsealed and takes you to Corinna on the Pieman River, just over 100 kilometres south.
To get to Arthur River take the A2 Highway for 50 kilometres beyond Smithton to Marrawah (great surfing and beach walks) then continue south on an unsealed road for 14 kilometres.
Be prepared for all types of weather. The west coast receives the full impact of the Roaring Forties, so make sure you have warm clothing and wet weather gear at all times of the year.
