Tasmania (overview)
- Hobart: an intriguing blend of heritage sites, modern lifestyle, stunning scenery and vibrant culture. On Saturday mornings be sure to discover Salamanca Market; one can also visit MONA art gallery’s private collection, take a day trip to Bruny Island for coastal bush walks and wildlife viewing, or board a coastal boat to see dolphins, fur seals, albatrosses and, at certain times of the year, humpback whales.
- Freycinet, a sunny peninsula on Tasmania’s mild east coast, is a place where you can wind down and relax. Stay in luxurious boutique accommodation: nature by day, luxury by night – what could be better? It is essential to visit the internationally acclaimed Wineglass Bay.
- Craig “Bushie” Williams: never a city slicker, Craig was born in a small town in a remote corner of Tasmania and from a very early age felt at home in the bush. While more than capable of catching a trout, identifying an astonishing number of colourful bird species and tracking down a platypus, Craig’s real speciality is bush tucker. Try Craig’s wallaby steaks with pepperberry sauce, lemon myrtle spiced local trout or fresh lobster complemented by a glass or two of fine Tasmanian wine. Craig’s love of good food, his sharp wit and his knowledge of the wilderness make him one of Australia’s top guides.
