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.
