WELCOME 

to Tasmania 

With a population of just over 500,000 people, Tasmania is uncrowded and promises a gentle and enviable lifestyle. 

We have a rich heritage of aboriginal culture, convict habitation, mining glory and a successful agricultural industry. The new Tasmania balances these 

elements with a contemporary influx of world leading artists, writers, cutting edge technology and of course world class travel experiences. 

Tasmania is an island of spectacular contrasts. The journey will take you through ancient rainforests, wild alpine country, rich farming lands and unspoilt 

coastal drives. Tasmania is all about world-class trout fishing, boutique cool climate vineyards, gourmet food, award-winning restaurants, and a rich 

history magnified in the colonial architecture. On a driving holiday, everything is easily accessible and the ever changing landscape will amaze. 

In recent years, Tasmania has gained many international and Australian awards for its growing collection of world-class hotels and tourism product, 

fresh produce, cool climate wines and restaurants. Our island’s growing reputation for quality and authenticity is inspiring the world. 

A combination of good roads, light traffic and short travelling distances, makes Tasmania a perfect destination for self-drive holidays. Venture off the 

beaten track to discover some of our townships, spectacular scenery, cellar doors, farm gates and talented artists at work. If you plan to circle the entire 

island, we recommend a minimum stay of 10 nights. However, if time is not on your side, you will still be able to enjoy specific regions of Tasmania in 

shorter visits. Our consultants are proudly Tasmanian and will help you plan the best available holiday in the time you have available.

travel tips 

Climate 

Tasmania has four distinct seasons. The warmest months are December, January, 

February and March. Autumn generally has clear, sunny days and Winter can 

be cool, depending on the region that you are in. However, because we sit in the 

Southern Ocean and have a maritime climate, temperatures can vary greatly on 

any given day. 

AVERAGE TASMANIAN TEMPERATURE RANGE IN DEGREES CELSIUS: 

Autumn (March – May) 9 – 18 

Winter (June – August) 5 – 13 

Spring (September – November) 8 – 18 

Summer (December – February) 12 – 24 

What to wear in Tasmania 

Due to the varying climate no matter when you come to Tasmania bring a warm 

jacket. If you are coming in the cooler months, it’s best to bring clothing you can 

layer because even the winter sun is quite warm. 

Shopping hours 

Tasmania has seven day trading, however not all shops are open on Sundays. 

There are many great markets held on weekend’s right around the state - ask us 

for details when booking. 

When to travel 

Each season in Tasmania has its own appeal, making anytime a great time to visit! 

During the summer months it is festival time and can be very busy. Autumn is the 

best time to sample some of Tasmania’s renowned fresh produce at events like the 

Taste of the Huon or Agfest. In Winter, cosy up in front of a log fire or indulge at the 

Chocolate Winterfest at Latrobe in July. Winter is also a cheaper time to travel in 

Tasmania and crowds are smaller. In Spring, come to see the lush green country 

side and the magnificent heritage gardens in bloom. 

Best way to get around Tasmania 

Whether you hire a car, campervan or take your own vehicle on the Spirit of 

Tasmania, having your own transport is definitely the best way to see our island 

state, as particularly in regional areas, public transport can be limited. Self-drive 

holidays are made easy in Tasmania with good roads, light traffic and short 

travelling distances between major towns and cities. Most people choose to travel 

in a loop around Tasmania which avoids the need to backtrack and provides the 

opportunity to visit the majority of Tasmania’s main highlights. 

Time and Distance 

How to get to Tasmania 

By Air 

Travelling to and from Tasmania is easy with plenty of daily flights between 

mainland Australia and the island’s main airports in Hobart, Launceston, Burnie 

and Devonport. You can fly direct to Tasmania from Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, 

and the Gold Coast. We recommend flying with our preferred airline partner, Virgin 

Australia. Our consultants can book flights as part of your holiday package. 

Ask TasVacations for the latest airfare deal. 

Interconnecting flights are also available from all other capital cities and 

major metropolitan areas. 

FLIGHT DURATION: 

From / To Hobart Launceston 

Melbourne 1:15 1:00 

Sydney 1:55 1:45 

Brisbane 2:50 2:35 

Gold Coast 2:35 - 

By Sea 

There are nightly sailings between Melbourne and Devonport and vice versa 

aboard the Spirit of Tasmania, enabling you to bring your own vehicle. Over the 

peak season day sailings are also available. Bringing your own car has many 

advantages. The extra space for luggage, the fishing rods or golf clubs will add to 

your holiday experience. The journey across Bass Strait takes between 9 and 11 

hours. TasVacations has the latest prices and special offers on Spirit of Tasmania 

when purchased in conjunction with accommodation. Ask your TasVacations 

consultant for more details. 

Value from TasVacations 

Along with the expert local knowledge and value prices, packages that include car 

hire and accommodation or return Spirit of Tasmania fares with a minimum of 

7 nights accommodation within Tasmania receive additional bonuses. Included 

with your 7 night Adventurer, 10 night Explorer or 14 night Road Trip package is a 

statewide visitor guide allowing you to get the most out of the regions you will be 

visiting and a large quality touring map to help you get around. Tasmania has 19 

National Parks and you will definitely want to visit a few on your journey, so a National 

Parks Pass is also included in the Adventurer, Explorer and Road Trip packages.

GREAT WALKS 

guided walking holidays 

Tasmania is renowned for its magnificent guided walks and we offer the three top experiences. 

In small groups with two local guides these three walks showcase Tasmania’s remarkable wilderness, its rare 

plants and animals and history. They are wonderful soft adventure experiences where interesting walking by day is 

complimented by exclusive and elegant accommodation at night. 

The Maria Island Walk enjoys world heritage convict history and abundant Tasmanian wildlife, the Bay of Fires 

Walk showcases the world’s most beautiful beaches and magnificent lodge whilst Cradle Huts lets guests walk the 

famous Overland Track in comfort and style! 

You don’t need to be a seasoned walker to enjoy these walks, just have a sense of adventure and moderate fitness. 

Your pack is light, weighing just 5-8kg, allowing you to take in your surroundings and listen to fascinating stories 

from your guides. Each night relax and sit back with gourmet dining and glass of fine Tasmanian wine before retiring 

to a comfortable bed and pillow. 

The walks are all inclusive packages with great service so guests can relax and enjoy themselves to the fullest.

SUGGESTED 10 NIGHT EXPLORER ITINERARY 

If your plan is to circle the entire Island, we recommend a minimum stay of ten nights. Although Tasmania is Australia’s 

smallest state, it packs a lot into its small area. A ten night itinerary gets you to all of our iconic areas with time to stop 

along the way. As with all TasVacations itineraries, our friendly Tasmanian based consultants will work with you to get 

the most out of your time in Tasmania.

14 night road trip 

• 


If you want the luxury of additional time to discover some of Tasmania’s hidden treasures not usually possible on 

shorter itineraries, we recommend our 14 Night Road Trip. In fact, many visitors still feel they need a return visit even 

after this length of time, as there is so much to see and do. A longer stay allows time for additional sightseeing, tours 

and attractions, but also to experience local events, markets and the relaxed Tasmanian way of life. Our popular road 

trip itinerary can be extended and tailored to match your time and budget.

WELCOME TO 

hobart & the south 

With the River Derwent at its heart and Mount Wellington rising above it, in Hobart 

the tranquillity of a city from a bygone era coexists with the vibrancy of a pocketsized 

modern metropolis. 

Hobart’s European beginnings are evident everywhere, from quaint settlers’ 

cottages to the lofty porches of colonial mansions. Once bustling with whalers 

and entrepreneurs, 19th-century sandstone warehouses now serve as dockside 

cafés, artist’s studios and restaurants, where you can enjoy excellent cuisine and 

fine wines. Discover Australia’s history in the nearby Tasmanian Museum and Art 

Gallery, visit MONA (Museum of Old and New Art), enjoy classical and modern 

music in a variety of venues, or catch a show at the Theatre Royal - Australia’s 

oldest theatre. 

It’s easy to see why Hobart has prospered from its busy working past. Today 

fishing boats sit along the punts selling their produce and just along the docks the 

Salamanca Markets are held every Saturday. Take a harbour cruise past squarerigged 

yachts, or drive to the summit of Mount Wellington for a bird’s eye view of 

the intricate pattern of islands and estuaries that reach out to the sea beyond. 

The area surrounding Hobart is rich with a variety of landscapes and experiences. 

To Hobart’s south east, past the Coal River Valley wineries, is the historic town of 

Richmond. Here, the gaol serves as a prelude to the Port Arthur Historic Site. The 

Tasman Peninsula and Port Arthur offers so much that a few days in this region 

is a must. Experience thrilling cliff walks, sea cruises, incredible natural beauty, 

wildlife and Port Arthur Historic Site including the spine chilling ghost tour. 

South of Hobart, you can cruise off Bruny Island, beneath some of the world’s 

highest sea cliffs. Take your car to Bruny Island on the regular ferry service and 

stay a while in this unspoilt environment. Drive the interpretive Huon Trail. Stay 

a few days and immerse yourself in the gastronomic experience the region offers. 

North of Hobart, and only a 30 minute drive from the city, New Norfolk is a pretty 

town in the Derwent Valley. Stay a while and take the time to experience the 

history and natural beauty of this peaceful location. If you love antiques, you will 

be in heaven as the town is home to a number of antique shops. 

Local Favourites 

• Wander through Richmond, one of Australia’s best preserved colonial villages. 

• Soak up the atmosphere and find yourself a bargain at Saturday’s world 

famous Salamanca Market. 

• Walk through the Tahune Forest Reserve treetops on the 48 metre Airwalk. 

• Enjoy the stunning view from the summit of Mt Wellington. 

• Experience Hobart by water on a thrilling eco-cruise or harbour cruise. 

• Be shocked and amazed at MONA - the Museum of Old and New Art, home 

to the largest private collection of art in the Southern Hemisphere.

WELCOME TO THE 

east coast 

Whether they are fishermen, wine makers or walking-guides, you will hear a 

different life story from friendly locals whose values are shaped by the rhythms of 

nature, and the stunning beauty of the east coast. 

At Mount William National Park, in Tasmania’s north east, Forester Kangaroos 

acknowledge visitors with casual indifference. Heading south, around the Bay of 

Fires, the sea is aqua and deserted shell-strewn beaches stretch for kilometres 

of silica sand. House-sized granite boulders reddened by lichens, are polished 

smooth by waves that thump and sigh as they crumple onto the shore. 

To the north of Bicheno is the Douglas-Apsley National Park, a landscape of 

rugged river gorges, waterfalls and gently flowing rivers. Nearby, occupying a 

whole peninsula, is spectacular Freycinet National Park, with Coles Bay at its 

entrance overlooking crystal-clear Oyster Bay, an ideal place for diving, snorkelling, 

kayaking, boating and fishing. The park is dominated by the pink granite of the 

Hazards Mountains and best known for the perfect curve of Wineglass Bay. 

Enjoy superb seafood such as crayfish, scallops, oysters and salmon, along with 

berries in Swansea, before the journey south and the first sight of Maria Island. 

The whole island is a national park, free of vehicles. It is a refuge for Forester 

kangaroos, wallabies and the round small pademelons. 


• Catch it yourself with a bay, reef or game fishing charter. 

• See why Lonely Planet named the Bay of Fires the worlds’ number one 

tourist destination. 

• Take a walk to the Wineglass Bay lookout or cruise into Wineglass Bay and 

see wildlife up-close. 

• Taste some award-wining traditional cheeses at the Pyengana Dairy 

Company. 

• Follow the trail of the tin dragon in Tasmania’s north east. 

• See penguins in their natural habitat on a Bicheno Penguin Tour. 

You can stay in the tiny settlement of Darlington, watch the Cape Barren Geese 

or any of the 130 resident bird species, and relax as you learn of the Aboriginal, 

convict and settler histories. Alternatively, take a luxury four day guided walk 

around the island.

WELCOME TO 

launceston & the north 

Tasmania’s ‘northern capital’ of Launceston was established in 1806 by free 

settlers. It has fine Victorian buildings from the 1870s and 1880s and elegant 

contemporary architecture. 

The unique attraction of Cataract Gorge is a natural wonder only a 15-minute walk 

from the city centre. The famous J Boag and Son Brewery is another must do. Also 

within easy walking distance is the Queen Victoria Museum at Inveresk, and right 

next door is Aurora Stadium, Hawthorn Football Clubs Tasmanian home ground. 

The tidal River Tamar flows north from Launceston to George Town and Bass 

Strait, past forested hills and pastures, lavender plantations, vineyards, strawberry 

farms and orchards. Cool climate wines and fine dining are the essence of the 

new Launceston and the North experience. Excellent restaurants, superb boutique 

wineries and simple roadside stalls ensure every appetite is indulged and this 

idyllic setting will satisfy other interests too, from history enthusiasts to nature 

lovers. Stay a while in one of the many B&B’s or resorts in the area. You can explore 

by road or cruise the long curve of the Tamar River. Take your time as there is 

much to see and do along the way. 

North east of Launceston is Scottsdale with its Forestry EcoCentre, en route to the 

popular port and seaside town of Bridport, famous for fishing; the purple haze of 

lavender fields at Nabowla; and the links golf courses, Barnbougle Dunes and next 

door Lost Farm. 

Beneath the Great Western Tiers, to Launceston’s west, is the pretty town of 

Deloraine which every year hosts Australia’s biggest working craft fair, while to 

the south down the Midlands Highway, are authentic examples of Tasmania’s 

“living history” including the historic towns of Evandale and Longford. The area 

is truly rich in history including National Trust listed properties of Franklin House 

and Clarendon Homestead along with recently World Heritage listed properties of 

Brickendon and Woolmers Estate.

WELCOME TO THE 

north west coast 

Tasmania’s North West Coast stretches from wildlife rich Narawntapu National 

Park to the Tarkine - Australia’s largest temperate forest. This region is considered 

to be Tasmania’s food bowl and farmers markets thrive here. The region’s riches 

are also celebrated at annual events such as tulip and chocolate festivals. 

Look out for farm-gate bounty, from handcrafted cheeses to raspberries and 

produce fresh from rich, red soil. At Latrobe see tempting chocolate truffles rolled 

by hand then savour the chocolate maker’s favourites in the tasting room. 

Travelling beside Bass Strait your journey takes you from Devonport through 

Penguin, Burnie and Wynyard to Stanley and the roaring surf of Marrawah. The 

hinterland is farming country, an idyll of gently rolling hills and deep-red volcanic 

soil where cattle and sheep graze on the lushness of fertile pastures. 

The picture-book appeal of coastal Stanley contrasts with the hillside prettiness of 

inland Deloraine, both places where crafts people draw inspiration from the pace 

of life and their surrounds, to invest their creations with beauty and style, whether 

furniture, jewellery, sculpture or painting. Other creators work with food and drink 

rather than artefacts, but bring the same integrity and passion to their work, like 

the whisky makers at Hellyers Road Distillery. 

Further westward is the Arthur River, a great spot to base yourself to explore the 

Tarkine, Australia’s largest temperate rainforest, where the stillness of centuriesold 

trees encourage respite from the urban bustle. A must do is a cruise on the 

Arthur River and the area is also home to Woolnorth, a historic farming property 

merged with a contemporary wind farm in an area renowned for some of the 

cleanest air on the planet. 


• Explore the Tarkine on a Wilderness Tour. 

• Breath the world’s cleanest air at Cape Grim in the far north west. 

• Meet the Makers at the Makers Workshop at Burnie - watch up close local 

artists at work all in one location. 

• Visit the quaint ‘Town of Murals’ – Sheffield. 

• Climb to the top of The Nut for an amazing view of Stanley 

• See rare bird life and amazing wilderness cruising the Arthur River.

WELCOME TO 

central tasmania & the west coast 

The West Coast is full of towns depicting Tasmania’s rich mining and hydro 

development history. 

Stop for a while in Zeehan, once a wealthy silver town, and explore the West Coast 

Pioneers Memorial Museum where you can learn of the town’s rollicking mining 

past. Also located in this region are the tiny historic towns of Rosebery and Tullah 

that once housed hundreds of miners but are now quiet and peaceful. Look out for 

Montezuma Falls our tallest waterfall, near Rosebery. 

As you head into Queenstown, you enter another world and the road spirals for 

more than 90 bends down into what remains of one of the world’s richest gold 

and copper mines. A stop at The Galley Museum will provide an insight to the rich 

mining history and the interesting streetscape continues the tail of an interesting 

and sometimes affluent history. 

When you reach Strahan, on Macquarie Harbour, you can take an exhilarating 

cruise to the wide ancient Gordon River, take a seaplane and land on the Gordon 

River to search out a thousand year-old Huon Pine, or just relax and indulge in 

great food and wine. 

Central Tasmania is a diverse area that includes some of our iconic World Heritage 

Areas, historic pastoral properties and heritage towns. Cradle Mountain itself is a 

must do, if only to see the iconic sight of Cradle Mountain reflected in Dove Lake. 

It’s a place of ancient Gondwana landscapes, dense forests, wild rivers that tumble 

through steep gorges and wide deep lakes. The jagged peaks of Cradle Mountain 

marks the boundary of this wild and ancient area. 

At the southern end of the Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park is Lake St 

Clair - the southern end of the Overland Track. The area is also home to The Wall in 

the Wilderness at nearby Derwent Bridge - a huge Huon Pine carving depicting the 

history of the region. The entire Central Highlands is made up of many lakes and is 

well known for trout fishing. Cabins and lodges in the area are a welcome retreat 

from a days fishing or exploring the area. 


• Take a walk to the spectacular Montezuma Falls at Rosebery. 

• Cruise on the Gordon River to Sarah Island and view the famous Hells Gates 

at the mouth of Macquarie Harbour. 

• Stop between Queenstown and Derwent Bridge for a short 10 minute walk 

to the easily accessible Nelson Falls. 

• Explore Dove Lake or conquer the Overland Track at Cradle Mountain. 

• Uncover the rich and colourful history of bushrangers and convicts on the 

Heritage Highway.

WELCOME TO 

king island 

King Island lies in the path of the Roaring Forties, the ever-present westerlies 

that circle the world’s southern latitudes. It’s an island of long, empty beaches 

and clean, fresh air, offshore reefs, rocky coasts, lighthouses and more than 70 

shipwreck sites. 

Known internationally for its fine produce, King Island is the perfect destination 

for foodies who want to get close to the source. Succulent local beef, rich cream, 

handmade cheeses and even Cloud Juice (bottled water from unpolluted rain) are 

some of the produce receiving accolades around the world. 


• Visit the southern hemisphere’s tallest lighthouse at Cape Wickham, 

the northern most point of the Island. 

• Taste some of the amazing King Island Cheeses at the King Island Dairy shop. 

• Test your golfing skills at the 9 hole links course of Kind Island Golf Club. 

• Visit the King Island Historical Museum located in the old home of the chief 

lighthouse keeper in Currie.

WELCOME TO 

flinders island 

Contact TasVacations for suggested 

itineraries to King and Flinders Island. 

Flinders Island is the main island of the Furneaux group, a collection of 52 islands that 

stretch across Bass Strait between Tasmania and mainland Australia. 

On Flinders Island you can get away from it all in an inspiring world of sparkling 

beaches, rugged ranges, abundant wildlife and flora, and clear sapphire waters. 

With a pleasant climate throughout the year and activities from boating, climbing 

and fishing to exploring historic sites, Flinders Island has much to offer. 

The Island is also a wild and natural refuge for abundant wildlife – wombats and 

wallabies, possums and pademelons to name a few. Two hundred species of 

birds, ranging from the tiny Superb Fairywren to the giant Wandering Albatross, 

have been recorded as visiting or living on Flinders Island. This also includes the 

endangered Fortyspotted Pardalote. 

With no public transport, and only one taxi service available on the Island, it is 

important to hire a vehicle when travelling to Flinders Island. Quiet roads make 

Flinders Island a great place for touring – be sure to allow enough time to discover 

some of the fascinating day trips around the island such as the wild coasts of the 

north; sandy lagoons to the east and secluded beaches found right around the 

island. 

Flinders Island 

Killiecrankie Diamonds 


• Borrow a shovel and a sieve from a local and fossick for Killiecrankie 

diamonds at the north of the Island. 

• Take one of the spectacular bush walks at Strezelecki National Park or 

the Darling Ranges. 

• Check out the views of the whole island from Walkers Lookout. 

• Enjoy superb fishing by taking a tour with a local, knowledgeable guide.
