C203 is located on King Island, extending east from King Island Main Rd (B25) to the coastal fishing and tourist village of Naracoopa. Declared as a Secondary Road, it forms the major access to/from the eastern coast of the Island. A programme for providing a sealed surface is underway and it is anticipated that the final section will be completed by the end of 2008.

Heading west from Naracoopa, C203 climbs from the coastal plain onto the island plateau with a high standard sealed surface, reverting to a well-maintained gravel surface for 5km through Parenna State Forest. From Parenna to Pegarah the road is sealed, although narrow and without line-marking.
