THINGS TO DO

EXPLORE OUR REGIONS

King Island

Tee off across the ocean on two of Australia’s greatest golf courses. Dine heartily in a restaurant with no food. Ponder the ocean’s power above the site of a shipwreck. Favoured by nature and flavoured by some of the nation’s best farmland, this is truly the king of islands.

North west

Abundant produce, clever makers and epic wilderness – a journey in the north west is a feast for the senses. Follow your food from paddock to plate (or glass). Explore rugged coastlines and mysterious caves. And breathe deep. This is the cleanest air in the world.

West coast

This is a region of World Heritage-listed wilderness, of wild rivers and deep lakes, glacial valleys and windswept coasts. Plot a road trip through the Western Wilds, a drive journey full of detours and stories of convict courage and boom-and-bust mining fortunes. Remote. Raw. Untamed. Like nowhere else.

Hobart and the south

Old meets new in the island’s capital. Get caught up in history, lost in an underground gallery and dazzled by nature. This is a place of sea cliffs and big waves, tranquil rivers and alpine mountains, cosy bars and provocative art. This is the edge of the world.

East coast

Slow down. There’s a view around every corner and a long white-sand beach in between. This is the place to embrace simple luxuries – take time to pull over and follow a beach track, eat seafood at a fish shack, fall asleep with an ocean soundtrack.

Launceston and the north

Imagine a vibrant food scene, plenty of cool-climate wine, and adventure in bucketloads. Follow a tasting trail or a wine trail. Take a hike in a city gorge or a ride in a rainforest. From farm gates to cellar doors, meet the makers of northern Tasmania.

Flinders Island

Settle into island time. There are more than 120 beaches, and finding an empty one is easy. Snorkel in water as clear as air. Scale a mountain that rises direct from the sea. Find "diamonds" on a beach. This is a place where every driver waves, and time slows to the turn of the tides.
