Port Arthur and the Tasman Peninsula.
Port Arthur was "hell on earth" for the worst offenders in Australia's convict system, and they were housed at what is now the wonderfully preserved and reconstructed Port Arthur Historic Site. While it may have been a terrible place to be incarcerated, Port Arthur is situated on one of the most picturesque parts of Tasmania, The Tasman Peninsula. The Tasman Peninsula is attached to the mainland of Tasmania by two narrow necks of land, a wider one at Dunalley, and another, long, narrow neck at Eaglehawk Neck. At Eaglehawk Neck the amazing coastal features of The Blowhole, Tasman Arch and the Devil's Kitchen offer truly spectacular coastline views from the lookouts. If you get a chance be sure to take the
Tasman Island Adventure Cruises Tour out onto the Great Southern Ocean and the Tasman Sea.
Find out about visiting Port Arthur Historic Site for the full story on Australia's Convict System. This is a must-do experience in Tasmania. >>> Grand Historical Port Arthur Walking Tour from Hobart
Freycinet National Park and Coles Bay.
The colourful pink granite that forms the backbone of the Hazards gives a unique tinge to the landforms of the Freycinet Peninsula National Park. The untouched and pristine Wineglass Bay can only be reached by boat or on foot, though the trail to the Saddle Lookout can be easily walked in just over an hour for great views out over the Tasman Sea and Wineglass Bay itself. For those wanting a longer, more arduous journey, the
3-Day Freycinet Walking Expedition from Launceston is a great way to see the countryside.
Launceston and the Tamar Valley.
Launceston sits at the point at which the South Esk and the North Esk Rivers enter the tidal Tamar River Estuary. It is a very historic city, and one with natural features like Cataract Gorge and the Wetlands of the Tamar to be explored on any of the
Tours & Sightseeing Launceston experiences. The Tasmanian Wine Industry has a strong presence in the Tamar Valley and tours of the Wine Areas make for a very interesting time of it.
Cradle Mountain and the Cradle Mountain, Lake St Clair National Park.
One of Tasmania's Icons, Cradle Mountain boasts some of the most dramatic alpine scenery in the State. It can easily be accessed by those not driving themselves by way of the
Cradle Mountain National Park Day Tour from Launceston.
The 6-Day Cradle Mountain Overland Track Walking Expedition from Launceston takes you from Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair through the National Park and will show you a side of the Tasmanian wilderness that only those prepared to walk away from civilization can ever experience.
Strahan and Tasmania's Wild West Coast - The Gordon River Cruise.
The Gordon River ends its long journey through Tasmania's wilderness rainforests as it enters Macquarie Harbour. The coastal fishing and tourist village of Strahan sits on the Harbour, and it is from here that the
Gordon River Cruise from Strahan leaves daily. Access the great Tasmanian cool temperate rainforest in comfort this world class cruise. The tough pioneers who settled and developed the West Coast of Tasmania were an ingenious lot, building the ABT Wilderness Railway through almost impossible terrain in terrible conditions as they wrested minerals and timber from the forests. Recreate their journey with a trip on the
Tasmania West Coast Wilderness Railway Tour as it winds from Strahan to Queenstown, the mining centre of Tasmania.
