Natural Encounters and Unnatural Art in Tasmania

WHAT TO DO
Bay of Fires
The striking Bay of Fires stretches over 50 kilometres along the East Coast. Easily accessible on a self-drive itinerary, the white sands and bright orange and ochre coloured rocks are best discovered on the famous 4‑day Bay of Fires Lodge Walk departing from Launceston.

Freycinet National Park
With towering pink granite mountains, pure white beaches and rocky inlets that roll into azure waters, there are so many ways to immerse yourself into the beauty of this blissful pocket. Hike across the landscape. Relax at the luxury Freycinet Lodge. Or don a pair of waders at the Freycinet Marine Oyster Farm and enjoy freshly shucked oysters and champagne around a table in the water.

Dark Mofo
We recommend leaving your inhibitions at home before visiting this annual celebration of the bizarre and absurd in Hobart. Witness performances and art exhibitions you will not see anywhere else like the winter solstice nude swim in the Hobart waterfront (don't say we didn't warn you). The event has been cancelled for 2020, but this is event is not to be missed in 2021.

Port Arthur
Port Arthur
Beginning in the 1800's, the site was used as a penal settlement. There's more to discover at Port Arthur than just the beautiful landscape and the preserved buildings and landmarks; It's the in-depth stories of the convicts that are sure to pull at your heart strings. Ever wondered if you’re a descendant of a convict? The research team can find that out for you too on your visit.


WHERE TO STAY
Pumphouse Point

Located inside Tasmania’s Wilderness World Heritage Area, the historic Pumphouse Building sits on a glacial lake offering breathtaking views from the rooms within. Although the building has been restored to offer boutique accommodation, guests say its managed to maintain its original charm.

Henry Jones Art Hotel
Australia's first dedicated art hotel, the Henry Jones Art Hotel merges one of Tasmania's most significant industrial heritage sights (the old IXL Jam factory) with sleek modern design and contemporary art. Located on Hobart's waterfront, enjoy close proximity to Hobarts' renowned art, food and culture scene.
