Extended Trips

Cradle Mountain

Cradle Mountain, with its jagged peak reflected in Dove Lake, is one of Tasmania's natural highlights. Dove Lake is the northern border of Tasmania's World Heritage Area.

An assortment of short walks, day walks, and multi-day walks such as the world-renowned Overland Track can be undertaken from here. Accomodation varying from camping to 4 star chalets is available just inside and outside the park boundaries.

Strahan and the Gordon and Franklin Rivers

The Southern Ocean and the Roaring 40's. Sit on Ocean Beach at Strahan, and that's all that separates you from Patagonia, South America.

Timber was the catalyst for the settlement of Strahan which then played host to a penal colony for unruly Port Arthur convicts.

In the 1970's and 80's, Strahan was the site for one of the world's great conservation battles. Ultimately successful for the conservationists, Strahan is now the gateway into the Gordon-Franklin Wild Rivers National Park, a part of the World Heritage-listed, west coast Tasmanian wilderness.

Wine & Food Tours

Enjoy some of the best food and drink the planet has to offer by making a food and wine tour around Tasmanian farms and vineyards.

Tasmanian wines are becoming world-renowned with the pinot-noir gaining particular attention. Many vineyards offer tastings and sales, and some also have a gourmet restaurant.

And then there's the fresh oysters, lobsters, salmon, abalone, apples, stone fruit, cheeses, ....

Freycinet Peninsula

Wineglass Bay. Its name sounds picturesque and indeed it is, but it's only one of the many picturesque bays and white sandy beaches contained in Freycinet National Park. The park is also well known for its dramatic granite peaks called the Hazards.

Across the bay from the Hazards is the township of Coles Bay, a perfect base to explore the many walking tracks and sites on the Freycinet Peninsula.
