Located south of Australia “The Island of Inspiration,” Tasmania is about as remote and untouched as it gets, truly feeling like a natural paradise Island. Despite this it still gets a number of respectful tourists who can’t help but to see the beauty for themselves.
Tasmania is a complete package of amazing weather, breathtaking scenery and rare wildlife, but there are a number of particularly popular attractions that you might want to check out when visiting the Australian Island.
One of the more visited cities in Tasmania is Devonport, the arrival destination for ferried cars from the mainland and airport location. The city features a popular series of aboriginal rock engravings, a maritime museum and various other attractions to ease you in to the fun that will follow further afield.
One such place that was added to the World Heritage List in 1982 is the Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park, a popular destination among tourists seeking guided walks and treks through the awe-inspiring ancient rainforest and alpine heath lands where you’ll discover glacial lakes, rugged mountains, icy streams and a whole host of wildlife. The 6 day Overland track is like walking through a fantasy adventure to the middle of the earth.
A great historical landmark to visit on the Island is Port Arthur, the former site of a huge prison settlement in the 1800’s. Today stands memorial gardens and forestry where you can go on a guided educational tour and relive Australia’s criminal past.
If you enjoy the history of the Island then a visit to the capital Hobart is a must, as it is literally filled with colonial history. Sitting snugly between Mt Wellington and the River Derwent, the city is home to one of the world's most beautiful and secure deepwater harbours. The place is packed full with colonial stone cottages, tearooms, antique shops, restaurants, pubs and an old fashioned steam train to boot.
Mount Wellington in Hobart is a very popular climbing spot, specifically at its “Organ Pipes “ , White Water Wall, the Cataract Gorge in Launceston, Frenchman's Cap and the Hazards at Freycinet. You can take fully aided climbing and abseiling lessons out in the open on such routes or you can utilize indoor walls to get you started.
Going inside the mountains in to the caves is a popular activity as many tourists are attracted to the many fascinating limestone and dolomite caves. Again tourists should probably take the guided tours, but it doesn’t make it any less Indiana Jonesy. Hastings Caves are the most popular caving location, which were only discovered in 1917 after 40 million years of development.
For the shoppers, Salamanca Place is the high-street to visit, boasting rows of jewellers, coffee shops, restaurants, designer boutiques and craft shops as well as their traditional Saturday market place. On the opposite side of the strip is Salamanca Arts Centre Courtyard where you can drink and watch entertainment.
No matter where you go there is something to discover in Tasmania and with well over 50 small surrounding Islands and landmasses you’ll need to come back several times to experience all of its wonder....
