. Boat Harbour Beach on the North-West Coast is one of my favourite Tasmanian beaches. The beach has stunning, crystal clear water and is surrounded by gorgeous countryside.
The North-West Coast has beautiful beaches and great farming country, including opium poppies.
North-West Tasmania is known for its rolling hills, chocolate soil and great produce.
The Tamar Valley in the north of the state is a short drive from Launceston, Tasmania’s second largest city. It has great vineyards and orchards. Brady’s Lookout was once the hideout for bushranger Mathew Brady.
Ross is an historic town in the Midlands. It’s known for its sandstone buildings and convict history, including the bridge built by convicts in 1836.
Coles Bay on the East Coast is a pretty town and close to the Freycinet National Park. It has great wildlife, beaches and orange granite rocks.
This photo doesn’t do Wineglass Bay justice. Wineglass Bay is named one of the top ten beaches in the world. You can do a great half day trek through the hills into the beautiful curved bay, with perfect fine quartz sand and clear water.
Great Oyster Bay Lookout on the East Coast is a great place to look out over Freycinet Peninsula and the pink granite mountain range of The Hazards. You can even sample the wine and produce at the vineyard as you take in the view!
Denison Beach on the East Coast is still beautiful on a wet, grey day.
Swansea, further down the East Coast is a pretty, laid back town. It has beautiful views and is known for great seafood and local berries.
Kingston Beach is in the south of the state and is 10mins drive from Tasmania’s capital city Hobart. I’m lucky enough to wake up to this view every morning.
The Derwent Valley is a short drive inland from Hobart. It has spectacular waterfalls, wilderness rainforests, rural countryside and historic villages.
The D’Entrecasteaux Channel is a short drive down the coast from Hobart. It has pretty villages, stunning scenery, fishing & farming, and artistic communities.
Bruny Island is a short drive south from Hobart. It has great bushwalks, towering seacliffs, beautiful surfing beaches, local food and wine, forests, wildlife and birdlife from land and sea, and wildflowers.
This is the furthest South West you can reach by car. The Southwest National Park contains some of the finest and most remote wilderness found anywhere in the world. It has 600 000 hectares of wild rivers, mountain ranges, ancient rainforests, button grass plains and a myriad of plant and animal species.
