With intrepid lodge based safaris and the delightful capital of Hobart at its centre, Tasmania’s appeal is far ranging. Separated from mainland Australia by the Bass Strait, Tasmania features the alpine wonderland of Cradle Mountain, the fascinating excursion of Port Arthur with its famous penal colony and several alluring towns including Launceston with its open parkland and urban reserves. Some of Tasmania’s finest wines can be sampled along the Tamar Valley Wine Route, whilst rock climbers and bushwalkers will love the challenging Ben Lomond National Park located near Launceston. Tasmania’s vineyards, beaches and historical framework will leave a lasting impression to all who visit its tranquil shores.
