Hobart is Australia’s southern-most capital city. A small and unspoiled bastion of European lifestyle in the southern ocean. Much of Hobart and its environs are reminiscent of England, with hedgerows and historic architecture abounding under blue, smog-free skies.
The rest of the day is at leisure to explore Hobart including Salamanca Place, Battery Point and constitution dock.
Travel northwest bound for the fishing village of Strahan. Overlooking the second biggest harbour in Australia, Strahan is the launching point for cruises on the magnificent Gordon River. This little town still retains its heritage flavour with many new developments retaining Strahan’s historical and cultural charm.
Experience a multi award-winning cruise in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. Departing from Strahan on Tasmania's west coast, the Gordon River cruise offers a half-day adventure on the Gordon River aboard a sleek, purpose-built tour vessel, the "Spirit of the Wild". You will experience cruising while taking in the tranquil surrounds of the Gordon River. Your dedicated guides and character-based interpretation will take you through the history of this remarkable place, as you cruise across Macquarie Harbour to Hells Gates and then on to the Gordon River. You will later enjoy a buffet lunch or snack of local Tasmanian foods and beverages.
Depart Strahan and travel northeast to Cradle Mountain. Covering some of Tasmania’s highest country, the Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park, with its many lakes and mountain peaks, is famous for its magnificent alpine scenery. The Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park is listed by the World Heritage Commission as one of the most precious places on the planet. En route, we recommend you stop at Montezuma Falls. This is Tasmania's highest waterfall and the purpose built swing bridge affords perfect views of the magnificent waterfall.
Today is at leisure for you to explore Cradle Mountain and its spectacular surroundings.
Suggested activity: With a range of fantastic walks ranging from easy to difficult, there's plenty of opportunities to experience the beauty of Tasmania's wilderness first hand, and with all the comforts of home awaiting you at the end of your day. We recommend the Dove Lake Circuit Walk. The Trail circles Dove Lake while taking you beneath the craggy spires of the indomitable Cradle Mountain. This two-hour circuit is boardwalk for much of the way and is suitable for most which makes it a family-friendly adventure.
Depart Cradle Mountain and travel northeast on your way to Launceston. Launceston is the ideal base from which to discover and experience the ‘essential Tasmania’ - historic villages, National Trust properties, wilderness, arts, crafts, country markets, national parks, spectacular coastline, breathtaking scenery and the internationally acclaimed food and wine, grown locally in the clean and unspoilt environment of the Valley.
One of Australia's oldest cities, Launceston has one of the best-preserved early cityscapes in Australia with its elegant Colonial and Victorian architecture and century-old parks.
Suggested Activity: The Tamar Island Wetlands is a unique urban wetlands reserve just a ten-minute drive from Launceston. A short (500 metre) walk from the interpretation centre takes you to a bird hide with seating where you can observe wetland birds on the lagoon and enjoy a restful break.
Today begin driving down the East coast of Tasmania to the iconic Freyicent National Park, home of the world renowned Wineglass Bay. Freyicient comprises a peninsula defined by a Schouten Island and a granite mountain range known as the Hazards.
Suggested Activity: While a much longer route, be sure to drive the much more scenic road via St Mary's and Bicheno and take in the coastal beauty of Tasmania's East coast.
Today is a full day to explore the glory and natural beauty of Freyicient National Park.
Suggested Activity: Pack a picnic (or just grab a locally woodfired pizza and a bottle of pinot from the Devil’s Corner Cellar Door) and stick around on the sand to see the pink granite of the Hazards glow pink at sunset.
Leaving Freyicient National Park today, continue south back towards the capital, Hobart.
Suggested Activity: It is hard to be driving through the south of Tasmania and not visit Port Arthur. Sitting on the Tasman Peninsula, it was a 19th-century penal settlement and is now an open-air museum. Ruins include the huge penitentiary and the remaining shell of the Convict Church, which was built by inmates.
Today leave Hobart to continue on your journey.

5 of the best beaches in Adelaide
WITH SO MANY EXCEPTIONAL BEACHES SO CLOSE TO THE CITY CENTRE, ADELAIDE'S SAND AND SURF ARE VIRTUALLY INESCAPABLE. One of our favourite things about Adelaide's metropolitan beaches is the fact that they’re so accessible. Jump in the car, chuck on your bathers and within the hour you can be sprawled on a towel in t...
