Itinerary
Hobart to North West Tasmania
An early start from Hobart sees us heading deep into the wild west coast of Tasmania. After passing through the town of New Norfolk, we explore Mount Field National Park by walking amongst some of the tallest trees on the planet, standing beneath the beautiful Russel Falls, and searching for platypus. Our drive passes though the Tasmania Wilderness World Heritage Area with a stop in at Franklin Gordon Wild Rivers National Park. We’ll then explore the eerie historical mining town of Queenstown before arriving at our destination, not far from Cradle Mountain, ready to explore tomorrow. Highlights - New Norfolk - Mount Field National Park – Russel Falls Walk & platypus spotting - Franklin Gordon Wild Rivers National Park – Franklin River Walk & Nelson Falls Walk - Queenstown – Town Stopover - North West Tasmania – Lakeside Accommodation
North West Tasmania to Hobart (via Cradle Mountain)
After a short drive though temperate rainforest we arrive at the spectacular Cradle Mountain National Park. Get your cameras ready because we’ll be spotting wild wombats before hiking the popular Dove Lake Circuit or Marions Lookout for the adventurous. A scenic drive through mountain ranges and highland lakes brings us back to Hobart (approximately 5:30pm) where we say farewell to our new tour friends. If you are keen to explore Hobart before or after your tour, make sure you check out the renowned Salamanca Markets – they’re held every Saturday of the year.
