| Tasmanian World Heritage
wilderness areas |
| One of the earth's last great
wilderness areas. Almost completely uninhabited with virgin
temperate rainforest, 1000-year-old trees, river rapids, glacial
lakes, soaring mountains and wildflowers. This is Tasmania's
Wilderness World Heritage Area, perfect for you to explore by
foot along wilderness tracks and trails when at Cradle Mountain,
or cruise up the Gordon River to Heritage Landing when you arrive
in Strahan. Immerse yourself in this ancient region. |
| Gourmet culinary delights
|
| With its rich, fertile soil
and an abundance of fresh waterways, Tasmania’s ability to produce
quality ingredients from the soil and sea are becoming well
known throughout the world. The freshest oysters, crayfish and
salmon, ripe berries and apples, farmhouse cheeses, pungent
truffles and flavoursome beers are just some of the ingredients
on local restaurant menus. Gourmet Wanderer journeys are about
discovering the best cuisine Tasmania can offer in the most
amazing locations. |
| Adventure Options |
| Add some spice to your holiday
with an Adventure Option. While you don't have to be an Olympic
athlete, a small degree of fitness is required for each activity.
From Hobart, take the Bruny Island Adventure Cruise, a high-speedboat
that whips along the coast, taking in rock formations and wildlife.
At Freycinet, go paddling on a sea kayak with guides and slowly
explore the pristine beaches and secluded coves. Or head off
the beaten track on a 4WD adventure to a remote beach. Please
contact us for further details. |
