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 Wild Rivers National Park. We spend tonight in our own exclusive accommodation in the historic coastal township of Strahan where your guide will fill you in on the amazing history of pining, mining and convicts!

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 are 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).  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.

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 Dove Lake with views of Cradle Mountain, or challenge yourself with a more strenuous hike (unguided).

Day 4: Devonport to Hobart

It’s only a short distance through farming country to Launceston where a transfer is required for the journey to Hobart. The Midland Highway is Tasmania's historic trunk route, dotted with colonial wayside inns and rustic villages such as Campbelltown, Oatlands and Bagdad. We make a stop in the Ross, where you’ll see Australia’s oldest convict built bridge and have the opportunity to purchase pastries (own expense).  We’ll also see the infamous Ross Bakery which is legendary in Japan and those in the ‘know’ will be in search of Kiki the witch!  Joining the Derwent Valley at Bridgewater, we'll return to Hobart mid-afternoon.
