Tour Plan
1
Hobart & the South
With the River Derwent at its heart and Mount Wellington rising above it, in Hobart the tranquillity of a city from a bygone era coexists with the vibrancy of a pocketsized modern metropolis. Hobart’s European beginnings are evident everywhere, from quaint settlers’ cottages to the lofty porches of colonial mansions.
Once bustling with whalers and entrepreneurs, 19th-century sandstone warehouses now serve as dockside cafés, artist’s studios and restaurants, where you can enjoy excellent cuisine and fine wines. Discover Australia’s history in the nearby Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, visit MONA (Museum of Old and New Art), enjoy classical and modern music in a variety of venues, or catch a show at the Theatre Royal – Australia’s oldest theatre.

The West Coast [Strahan / Cradle Valley]
Tasmania’s West Coast is wild, rugged and lush – and unlike anywhere else in Australia. Once prosperous towns such as Tullah, Rosebery and Zeehan tell the story of the regions rich mining history. From the harbour-side fishing village of Strahan, you can cruise, sail, fly or paddle through World Heritage Wilderness.
3
North West Coast [Smithton]
Tasmania’s North West Coast stretches from wildlife rich Narawntapu National Park to the Tarkine – Australia’s largest temperate forest. This region is considered to be Tasmania’s food bowl and farmers markets thrive here. The region’s riches are also celebrated at annual events such as tulip and chocolate festivals. Look out for farm-gate bounty, from handcrafted cheeses to raspberries and produce fresh from rich, red soil. At Latrobe see tempting chocolate truffles rolled by hand then savour the chocolate maker’s favourites in the tasting room.
4
Launceston & North
Tasmania’s ‘northern capital’ of Launceston was established in 1806 by free settlers. It has fine Victorian buildings from the 1870s and 1880s and elegant contemporary architecture.
The unique attraction of Cataract Gorge is a natural wonder only a 15-minute walk from the city centre. The famous J Boag and Son Brewery is another must do. Also within easy walking distance is the Queen Victoria Museum at Inveresk, and right next door is Aurora Stadium, Hawthorn Football Clubs Tasmanian home ground.
The tidal River Tamar flows north from Launceston to George Town and Bass Strait, past forested hills and pastures, lavender plantations, vineyards, strawberry farms and orchards. Cool climate wines and fine dining are the essence of the new Launceston and the North experience.
5
East Coast [Scamander]
Tasmania’s East Coast is home to pristine beaches(Wineglass Bay is regularly voted one of the best beaches in the world), pure aqua waters and picture-postcard coastal villages. It’s a coastline that’s perfect for a relaxing break – no wonder it is a favourite with the locals. Whether they are fishermen, wine makers or walking-guides, you will hear a different life story from friendly locals whose values are shaped by the rhythms of nature, and the stunning beauty of the east coast.
