Tasmania offers stunning landscapes, diverse wildlife and some of Australia’s finest trekking. The main city, Hobart, is a sleepy place, rich in convict settler history and Victorian architecture, while the superb national parks of Freycinet, Cradle Mountain, the Bay of Fires and Maria Island are home to a wide array of wildlife.

Tasmania
Lake St Clair and Cradle Mountain are two iconic elements of this Tasmanian World Heritage area. The scenery is awe-inspiring, as eucalyptus forests give way to mountain scenery reminiscent of Scotland’s finest.
As Australia’s second oldest city, Hobart is rich in colonial and maritime history. It is also the second sunniest city in Australia after Adelaide, contributing to its bustling café culture, which is focused on the waterfront.
Launceston is a city of contrasts; a short walk from the graceful Victorian facades is the scenic Cataract Gorge with its peacocks and rhododendrons, fern glades and spacious lawns.
Maria Island National Park offers the most amazing diversity of geography, flora and fauna experiences to be found anywhere in Tasmania. There is also a strong colonial history.
