TASMANIA
TASMANIA – explore on a tour, by foot or bicycle!
2021 is the year to embrace new adventures at home, such as walking some of the stunning coastlines (Bay of Fires, anyone?), learning about Tasmanian Aboriginal culture from an elder in Launceston or spotting some of Australia’s most famous native wildlife on Bruny Island. Tasmania has so much to see and truly is an adventure for everyone.
Taste of Tasmania
Capture the ethereal splendour and remote wonders of an island that prospers in its isolation on this nature-filled adventure through Tasmania. Discover uninterrupted UNESCO national parks, from the coastal heath and sand dunes that meet the rainforest in Tarkine to the glacier-sculpted terrain that envelops Cradle Mountain. Stroll along the stunning Hazards Beach in the shadow of Freycinet’s pink peaks and be mesmerised by the contrasting powder-white sands, turquoise waters and orange-hued granite in the world-famous Bay of Fires. Surround yourself with endemic wildlife, from Tasmanian devils to fairy penguins, and spend your free evenings indulging in world-class seafood in quaint coastal towns.
