Remarkable Cave
Remarkable Cave - NatureTREAD™
Located along the southern coastline of Tasmania, Remarkable Cave offers a truly unforgettable experience. Once a deep and covered cave, the back of the cave has collapsed, with the debris long since washed out to sea.
As part of infrastructure upgrades, the existing viewing platforms and stair access were replaced. These improvements are part of the tourism plan to encourage visitors to extend their stay in the Tasman Peninsula to help sustain jobs in the tourism and service industries.
Treadwell was engaged to supply the various FRP structures for these upgrades.
Project Challenges
- As stair access would be installed in a damp environment, corrosion and slip resistance were key considerations.
- A shelter was required to protect visitors from any falling large debris, but also allow rain and waves to pass through.
