8 places that I still can’t believe exist in Tas 8 places that I still can’t believe exist in Tasmania - the landscapes out here are insane! ✨ 📍Freycinet National Park (2.5 hours from Hobart CBD) My favourites were the Mt Amos hike (we did a sunrise hike) and Honeymoon Bay for sunset! 🥾 📍Maria Island (1 hour from Hobart CBD) The best place in the state to see free roaming wombats! A walk to the Painted Cliffs at low tide is also a must! ⛴️ 📍Eddystone Point Lighthouse (2.5 hours from Launceston CBD) The best spot to see the red lichen covered rocks that make the Bay of Fires so special + there’s a lighthouse here too!🔥 📍Bruny Island (30 minutes from Hobart CBD) We did this as a day trip, took the ferry over, saw white wallabies, went to the iconic Bruny Baker’s Bread Fridge and did the Bruny Island cruise! 🌊 📍Little Blue Lake (2 hours from Launceston CBD) Originally a mine hole, the lake reflects a vivid aqua blue from the minerals in its base and there’s lots of vantage points to view it! 💙 📍Mt Paris Dam (1.5 hours from Launceston CBD) The structure was created by hand for the local mining industry, and in 1985, a hole was blasted in the wall to allow the flow of the Cascade River - now it’s such a magical scene! ✨ 📍Trowutta Arch (3 hours from Launceston CBD) A short 1km return trail takes you through a beautiful rainforest-like setting to a magical arch way and still algae-covered cenote! 🌿 📍Cradle Mountain National Park (2.5 hours from Launceston CBD) Check out Ronny Creek to see wombats, do the Dove Lake Circuit or head up to Hansons Peak or Marions Lookout! 👀 How many of these have you been to or still need to get visit? ☺️ . . . #hiddengemsaustralia #seeaustralia #discovertasmania #tasmania #australiatravel
Mt Buffalo National Park just partially reopened t Mt Buffalo National Park just partially reopened to the public YAY! COMMENT “open” & I’ll send you exactly which trails you can do now! ⛰️🙌🏻 Rollasons Falls is located in Mt Buffalo National Park off Mt Buffalo Road and can be accessed via a 4km (1.5 hours) return walk (downhill to the falls, uphill on return) 🌿 The water is so inviting but if you go for a dip I can confirm you won’t be able to feel your body after 30 seconds 😅 In the middle of the day you’ll have full sun on the pool but you might also have to share the place with a few other people so you choose what’s best for you - I went in the morning and we had the place all to ourselves! 🙌🏻 What do you think, would you brave the cold for a cheeky swim? ☺️ 📍Rollasons Falls (3.5 hours from Melbourne CBD) #seeaustralia #visitvictoria #regionalvictoria #wandervictoria #visitmelbourne #seehighcountry
