Resting on the shores of Macquarie Harbour on the western coast of Tasmania, the small town of Strahan serves as an excellent base from which to explore the exquisite surrounding region. The town is set on the edge of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area and is the gateway to the World Heritage listed Franklin–Gordon Wild Rivers National Park. Boats, helicopters, and planes use Strahan as a jumping off point to explore the magnificent southwestern wilderness. In the west, giant dunes provide wonderful opportunities for sandboarding and tobogganing. The town is steeped in stories from convicts and pioneers, owing to the Macquarie Harbour is Sarah Island’s history as a convict prison. Don’t miss the chance to experience a steam train journey from Queenstown to Strahan, which includes stops for rainforest walks, panning for gold, and wild honey tastings.
Set in the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, at the heart of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, the iconic Cradle Mountain is a place of exceptional natural beauty. Lake St Clair is one of the largest lakes in Tasmania and offers great views of Cradle Mountain’s recognizable ridges. Rugged snow-topped mountains are surrounded by waterfalls, moss-covered trees, grass meadows, and rock pools as far as the eye can see. Cradle Valley is also home to several fascinating historical Aboriginal sites that can be explored via numerous hiking tracks. The mountains are inhabited by numerous wildlife species, including platypus, echidna, Tasmanian devils, and quolls.
Launceston im Norden ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Touren über die Insel.
Situated along the northeastern coast of Tasmania, Australia, the laid-back town of St Helens rests on the magnificent shores of Georges Bay. It is the state’s second-largest fishing port and is known as the game fishing capital of Tasmania, offering visitors the opportunity to catch lobster, tuna, marlin and much more. Jump on a chartered fishing boat cruise, drop a line from the jetty or enjoy some offshore fishing in the sheltered bay. Visitors can sample freshly caught seafood at local restaurants, surf at a variety of beaches and dive below the surface to discover a breathtaking underwater wonderland of caves, kelp forests and rich marine life. Make sure to explore the beautiful white-sand beaches of the Bay of Fires, just north of the town.
Granitfelsen, dichtes Buschland und unberührter, weißer Sandstrand charakterisieren den Freycinet National Park. Der riesige Park im Osten Tasmaniens ist ein zauberhaftes Wandergebiet, berühmt für die Wineglass Bay. Fantastisch ist der Blick von den Felsen oberhalb der Bucht hinab auf das blaue Meer und den weißen Sand.
