North West

Tasmania’s north west coast is still wild and rugged and boasts a spectacular array of incredible ancient landscapes.

From Burnie with its industrial heritage and busy port, breathtaking coastal views and massive bluffs, to fertile green fields that sweep down to the water and are brightly coloured with flowering tulips in spring. Feasts your eyes on native orchids, or take a stroll through rich dairylands, dense tall forests or historical villages. Make sure you visit Marrawah where the last Tasmanian tiger was captured in the wild and see you if you can spot the famous elusive creature with your very own eyes...

Central

Explore the Lyell Highway as it follows the course of the river past poplars and willows, hopfields and orchards, towards Tasmania’s mountains and wilderness. You will pass through historic farming settlements and stunning highlands, to witness the stark beauty of the Central Plateau where 10,000 years ago glaciers scraped the rocks bare, carving the cliffs and digging out the bed of Lake St Clair, Australia’s deepest lake.

Turning off the westward highway, a myriad of lakes, all teeming with trout, sparkle across the plateau. And to top it off, between Miena to Breona in the north the partially unsealed road will begin to descend and tall forests with cascading waterfalls will surprisingly loom before you.

North East

Each place has its own surprises - sapphires panned from old mines near Branxholm and Derby; farm cheese at Pyengana; skiing and walks on Ben Lomond’s craggy heights; echoes of a mining heritage at Derby and the Blue Tier; a desert of golden sand dunes at St Helens; rough-cut local granite in the towering Eddystone Point lighthouse; sweeping views of forests and farmlands as the Mathinna road descends to Fingal Valley.

You can witness some of the most stunning pastoral scenery, colonial towns and villages, where sandstone church spires overlook English oaks, elms and chestnuts, Georgian cottages line quiet streets and stone bridges are reflected in leaf-dappled water.

South West

From Devonport take the road through Zeehan, once a wealthy silver town. Make sure you stop by the West Coast Pioneers Memorial Museum to learn of the town’s once rollicking mining past.

If nature is more your cup of tea, get your hiking boots on and head bush through the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area or watch the savage river hurtle by in Franklin – Gordon Wild Rivers National Park.

Whatever you do make sure you visit this wild and rugged terrain!

Or select a town in the region:

South East

Discover all walks of wildlife, heritage and bountiful adventure as you absorb the dramatic scenery of the south. Sample the region’s superb cool-climate wines, and savour some of the local specialties - octopus, oysters, quail and venison. You may also encounter some of the local inhabitants - playful dolphins; our unique Tasmanian devil; or a majestic sea eagle, soaring from cliffs in the Tasman National Park.

Or walk gleaming beaches and stand on the rim of tall sea cliffs, carved into weird natural sculptures over millions of years by crashing waves and endless winds.
