Itinerary
Day 1 - Hobart to Strahan
First we travel to Mount Field National Park, where we stretch our legs on the Russell Falls and Tall Trees walks. We continue on to Lake St Clair for a view of Australia's deepest lake. On our way to Strahan we hike and explore the Franklin Gordon National Park. We spend tonight in your own exclusive accommodation in the historic coastal township of Strahan where your guide will fill you in on the amazing history of 'pinning, mining and convicts'!
Meals: Lunch, Dinner
Day 2 - Strahan to Cradle Mountain Region
This morning we enjoy the intriguing history of Strahan with options to suit everyone! Take a stroll along the foreshore or up the Water Tower Hill for a priceless lookout over Macquarie Harbour and Ocean Beach; walk through a rainforest to Hogarth Falls (if you're quiet and lucky you may even spot a platypus); if you are feeling more adventurous arrange with your guide to canoe in a nearby lake (at no extra cost). Another option is to join a catamaran cruise of the central highlands and the notorious Hells Gates (at own expense). Later, we take a walk through the Henty Sand Dunes, where you can even take a quad bike tour (at own expense). In the afternoon we visit the 'Silver City' of Zeehan. In the late afternoon you'll have the opportunity for a bicycle ride (included) at our overnight lodge accommodation.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 3 - Cradle Mountain to Devonport
Today we discover the World heritage Cradle Mountain National Park. Enjoy the pure air with a guided walk around lovely Dove Lake, or challenge yourself with a more strenuous hike (unguided) to view Cradle Mountain. We spend this afternoon exploring more of the state's mid north before our arrival in Devonport.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
