Since our international borders shut in early 2020, Aussies and Kiwis have dreamed of their next overseas holiday. Well, it’s time to wake up and shake off that wanderlust because those post-lockdown fantasies are finally becoming a reality, and we can’t wait any longer.
If you hadn’t previously considered this nature lover’s paradise as a destination for a soul-enriching Aussie holiday, here are four good reasons to convince you to book the trip to Tasmania.
The fine-dining scene is fantastic but Tasmania’s real point of difference—and appeal—is the short distance between paddock/trawler and plate, and the chance to meet the passionate distillers, winemakers, chefs, fishermen, providores and fromagers who call this community-minded, culinary haven home.
From hiking the Cradle Mountain Overland Track to cycling Tasmania’s East Coast, this is your chance to slow down and see this island state from a new perspective. You’ll feel the crunch of wilderness beneath your feet, breathe in the crisp sea air, and hike to misty mountaintops in what is a true bucket list-worthy experience.
With a thriving arts scene, fascinating wildlife, pristine wilderness and mouth-watering foodie experiences, Tasmania is the perfect destination for a memorable and rejuvenating overseas getaway for every type of traveller.
