Tasmania

Hobart is Tasmania’s capital city. It was founded in 1804 as a penal colony, it is the second-oldest capital city in Australia. These days, Hobart serves as the financial and administrative centre of the state and is also a popular tourist destination. One of the main features of Hobart that attracts tourists is the city’s convict-era architecture.

The city also has a gorgeous waterfront. A trip here will reward visitors with culinary options from around the world. The waterfront also has many cafes and bars. Grab a table and watch the sunset as yachts and boats sail by.

Mount Wellington in Wellington Park is just a half-hour drive away from Hobart.

Bridestowe Lavender Estate is one of the largest, if not the largest, commercial plantation of lavender in the world. While it is a working farm, Bridestowe welcomes visitors who want to take a look at the property.

A tour of the property will allow you to marvel at a seemingly endless sea of lavender while you learn about Bridestowe’s history and processes. After touring the farm, stop by the gift shop to purchase products made using Bridestowe’s lavender. A visit to the cafe is also a must so you can try dishes infused with their culinary lavender.

Off the coast of southeastern Tasmania is Bruny Island. There are many walking trails on the island for visitors to enjoy. Make sure to include Bruny Island’s fantastic sea cliffs on your list of things to see! It has a view unlike any other.

The island also has a rich history. Drop by The Bligh Museum of Pacific Exploration to learn about the Aboriginal people, explorers, and whalers that helped shape Bruny Island’s culture. Tourists can also head to the south of the island to visit the Cape Bruny Lighthouse.

A visit to Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park will feel like stepping into your favourite childhood fairytale. This idyllic park has glacial lakes, deep rivers, alpine moorlands, and snowcapped mountains. It offers views that seem to have been taken straight from a storybook.

Near Cradle Mountain, for which the park was partially named, is Dove Lake. There is a hiking track surrounding the lake which gives visitors a chance to appreciate the views in the park. At the edge of the lake, you will also see the iconic Dove Lake Boatshed.
