Food & Wine – Tasmania is a great place to learn about and
try fresh produce. Head to the farmers’ markets and local
eateries to experience Tasmania’s fine produce. Tasmania’s
cool climate, mild summers and long autumn days, make
perfect conditions for wine making. Be sure to take on a
wine route and find out why we love their wines so much.
Nature and Wildlife – A treasure trove of natural wonders,
beautiful landscapes, unique plants and wildlife. From
alpine ranges, wetlands and rainforests. Look out for
Australian fur seals, bottle nosed dolphins and penguins,
which are seen all year round. Depending on the time of
year you are visiting, you will also see platypus, Tasmanian
devils, southern right whale and the humpback whale.

wilderness, so you will have plenty to see and do. Go
mountain biking, fishing or play golf at two of the top 100
golf courses in the world.

world famous walks like the Overland Track, Wineglass Bay

rugged terrain and step back in time and relive history on
