This just in from PWS. Slightly confusing but does it mean that walking tracks are open, but all overnight walking is now not permitted? Or only in the areas specifically listed?

The safety of visitors and staff is the Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service’s highest priority.
Following advice from the Tasmania Department of Health and Tasmanian Government about social distancing and public gatherings during the COVID-19 pandemic, the PWS has made some changes to its operations until further notice for public safety.
At this stage all our parks and reserves remain open to the public, however many facilities will be closed or operating under changed arrangements.
