Western Wilderness Tasmania!

Nothing beats the Western Wilderness as much as Tasmania!

If you want raw untouched territory, then be sure to make this as a bucket list must do! Hop into a car from Launceston and get exploring! Launceston to Cradle Mountain a 2-hour (144 km) journey en-route to Cradle Mountain. You can take a break at Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm and to view the world-class murals at Sheffield!

Take a close look at a Tasmanian devil at Devils at Cradle, then overnight at the breathtakingly beautiful Cradle Mountain. The next day, walk or hike at Dove Lake in the Cradle Mountain, Lake St Clair National Park - one of the best walks in Australia! Drive to Strahan and enjoy the scenery along the way, or better still why not take a scenic flight for an amazing view of the World Heritage Area and watch the sunset on Ocean Beach?

Overnight in peaceful Strahan, and while you are at it, why not see Australia’s longest running play - The Ship That Never Was? Cruise on the Gordon River and visit Sarah Island, looking for a platypus on the walk to Hogarth Falls.

Then complete your journey from Strahan to Hobart which is a 5.5-hour (289km) journey.

On the way, visit the Wall in the Wilderness at Derwent Bridge? It’s amazing! Or enjoy a coffee at Lake St Clair Visitor Information Centre and walk down to the lake!

Hobart is a pure foodie’s paradise! The entire island of Tasmania has amongst the world’s best food and produce including the fresh seafood and oysters mainly from GET SHUCKED Oysters on Bruny Island! Why not try a scallop pie? Tasmania boasts the world’s best!

Take some time to visit Hobart’s waterfront, Salamanca art galleries and craft shops before heading home, or take a ferry visit to MONA, David Walsh’s controversial museum! **warning** Not for the faint hearted so be prepared to be shocked! Take a nice long drink at the bar, before entering!

What can I say it is the Apple Isle! So, go behind the scenery and check out what Tasmania can offer you!
