Cultural Collective Not only offering majestic scenery and a window into a colourful colonial past, a journey to the Apple Isle will reward you with vast cultural delights. Discover the meeting place for Tasmania's finest artisans at the famous Salamanca Market. And enjoy the island's award-winning food culture as you peruse menu after menu showcasing the state's delicious seafood, as well as locally-produced chocolate, cheese and wine. Explore the Western Wilderness Home to a cooler climate and rugged landscape, the west coast is cherished precisely because of its seclusion. The quaint harbourside village of Strahan presents a pioneering past, and overlooks Macquarie Harbour – the gateway to the Gordon River. The river itself winds through old-growth temperate rainforest, where the enduring Huon pine, the most ancient of conifers, can live for thousands of years. Charming Cities In Hobart, stroll down historic Salamanca Place, admiring its sandstone buildings. Gaze out in wonderment from Constitution Dock, remembering all the brave Antarctic expeditions that have set sail from there. In the state's north, discover the quaint city of Launceston – an elegant fusion of old and new. Bustling cafes and local designer boutiques front colonial and Victorian-style cityscapes, with century-old parks dotted throughout the city. 9
