Lots of walking track options to meet all fitness levels. We walked around the lake just a shame the cloud were not on our side. The cradle was not visible for most of the hike but the rest of the scenery was stunning.

Cradle Mountain - Dove Lake Circuit
A Trip is not complete is Tasmania if you do not drop by Cradle Mountain.
Cradle Mountain is popular due to its synonymous with nature, wilderness and all things pristine. It is like a place out of a picture, with abundance in this spectacular national park giving opportunities to encounter many wild life, which we encounter an Echidna. Such adorable but shy little creature. It is also filled with many lookouts and hikes from amateur to professionals.
Dove Lake Circuit is one of Tasmania's premier nature walk and was a relatively easy hike and took us about 2hours to complete, minus the photo taking and such. The total circuit is a 6km loop which a few lookouts. The walk is easy because there is a man-made broad walk for most of its way and is suitable for elderly and kids.
From the parking lot, you can already see the amazing view of backdrops of mountains but of course parking may be limited, do also check the weather, on the day we went, it started snowing and we all got a bit wet and was chilly as well. It was definitely an amazing hike with such spectacular, breathtaking view at every corner. This is definitely a recommended attraction to go.

Amazing views all around Cradle Mountain!
VIEWS FOR DAYSSSSS
Photos and videos just don't do justice to the beauty of Cradle Mountain. There are a few hiking trails around the mountain, of different difficulty level. I did an 8 hour hike to the summit and then around dove lake. Some bouldering involved at the summit, which was really tough and technical but nothing impossible with some patience and determination :)
Getting to Cradle Mountain is easy by car. There is a shuttle bus that brings visitors to the different start point of the hike trails/ look out points. Be sure that you have a national park pass first to access the mountain.
There are a few hotels/ Airbnbs around Cradle Mountain too. Didn't get to stay at any but would have loved to! #hiking #viewsfordays #mountain #hiketrip #hiketrail

Port Arthur Historic Site Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jul)
Remarkable Cave
The name of the place is perhaps a slight overstatement when it comes to the cave itself. Still, it's worth the 10 minute drive here if you're already visiting Port Arthur for the coastal views around the site, and there are some great walks in the area if you have an hour or two to spare.
Port Arthur Historic Site
Could have easily spent a second day at the Port Arthur Historic Site. There's so much to see and learn. The whole place is beautiful, open, and absolutely sprawling (which is not something I ever expected to say about a prison!).
Port Arthur UNESCO Heritage Site
Tasmania is filled with many natural landscape but do you know it is also filled with many stories and historic sites from ages ago?
One is the Port Aurther Historic Site located at in the south east of horbart, where it is approx a 90mins drive around the coast to reach. This is a place that you have to visit as it was deemed under the UNESCO World Heritage Site where there are historic buildings dating back to the 18th/19th centuries along the cliffsode overlooking the coast.
This place has many tales where it wad once a place for convicts in a 4 story Penitentiary. A huge Penitentiary which consists of an asylum, hospital and a church. There are also tales of ghost story here which can be quite scary to some.
Do make this a bucketlist here in tasmania so as to understand the many history cultural and story this place has to offer.

Cataract Gorge Reserve Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jul)
Beautiful Nature Reserve in Launceston
We had half a day to fill in Launceston before our flight home and stumbled upon this peaceful and scenic nature reserve by chance.
Tucked away behind a residential area you wouldn't think of finding such an open area like this but it is well worth the trip if you are in Launceston. There are a couple of easy walking tracks and a couple for more ambitious walkers as well as a fun gondola and cafe for those who like to take it easy. We started our visit in the cafe and ended there as well because the food was so delicious.

Cataract Gorge, Launceston
Great trip to Cataract Gorge. Took the chairlift which travels at appropriate speed, allowing you to take in the views around you and below. Be sure to wear covered shoes since your legs will be dangling in the air. We took the chair for both ways as we are travelling with seniors and it's very very very cold. You can also buy 1 way and then walk to the other side or walk back from the other side. It should be a very scenic walk and I would suggest that you buy 1 way and walk the other leg if you can. Since its winter now, be prepared to wear thick clothings or layer yourself up. A good day trip if you are visiting Launceston. #wintertime #cataractgorge #launceston #tasmania
Cataract Gorge follow by drive to Bicheno.
Wonderful Time at Cataract Gorge, Launceston. The chairlift travels at an appropriate pace, allowing you to take in the scenery below and around you. Then off to Campbell Town for pit stop cum lunch. Continue our journey to Bicheno where we will stay over for a night. As it is winter now, sun sets around 4.4xpm. Took pics of sunset, crescent appearing in the sky and after sun has set. Rested a while and we went for lobster at Lobster Shack Tasmania. The lobster meat is firm, chunky and fresh. Size is big too. Also had chilled prawns and seafood platter. All are nice. #wintergetaway #tasmania #cataractgorge #seafood #bicheno
Cataract Gorge Reserve
#australiatrip
A lovely recreation and picnic ground steeped in history. Great cafe, playgrounds, swimming pool, and amenities with well maintained gardens and walking trails to explore the beautiful natural surroundings. Of course there is also the famous old chairlift across the gorge. Well worth the small parking fee and short drive from Launceston CBD.

Wineglass Bay Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jul)
"World's Best Travel Destination" Tasmania is truly beautiful.
In this lifetime, we must visit Tasmania! A pure little island at the end of the world, with beautiful mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, free and romantic; natural grasslands, and isolated islands. Coming here to appreciate nature and listen to our hearts is really a good choice.
Preparation before departure
For flights to Tasmania within Australia, you can bring cosmetics, lighters, and other daily necessities containing liquids with you. Please bring toiletries such as toothbrushes and toothpaste. According to relevant Tasmanian regulations, please do not bring vegetables, fruits, or seafood products to the island!
Take measures to keep warm. Although Tasmania has entered spring, there is still a large temperature difference between morning and evening, and the wind on the hills of Wellington is still strong.
Don't worry too much about encountering rainy weather during your travels, as the weather on Tar Island is known for its variability. The clouds will soon disperse and the rain will stop.
Daily traffic:

Friends in Melbourne can choose the Spirit of Tasmania cruise in addition to flying, sleep on board overnight, and arrive the next morning.

One car: It's more cost-effective to travel with multiple people, and local drivers and tour guides are provided. The price is higher, but the itinerary is flexible.
Join a tour: worry-free, cost-effective, led by a professional team for safe and reliable experience.

Beautiful WineGlass Bay
A very beautiful lookout would be the wineglass Bay located at freycinet national Park.
Wineglass bay is popular due to its red and pink granite formation of rocks and it is also voted by several travel authorities one of the best beaches in the entire world.
The hike will not be an easy one as it is a constant upslope and you definitely will work up a sweat in order to get to the lookout, but it will definitely be a very very rewarding one. This is all about taking your time and eventually you will get to the top!
The entire walk will take you a good 1.5 - 2hrs as it is approx 6km round trip.
There is also an additional hike down to the beach and it isn't an easy one too as you know what goes down must come up. But again, the hike down to the beach will be a breathtaking and be rewarded with an amazing view of the white sandy beaches.

Great views at every turn
The view at Wineglass Bay lookout is simply breathtaking! I stand in awe of what Mother Nature has created. It took me 40mins to hike up to the lookout from the car park. There was some elevation and steep slopes on the way up but the views along the way made up for it.
There are a few hiking trails around Wineglass Bay. I did the one that brought me to Suicide Beach, it was a 2.5hr hike. The track is very well maintained. Relatively easy hike apart from the steep downhill steps at one stretch. Saw a few furry friends along the way too :)

Tasmania Wineglass Bay Hike
Wineglass Bay Lookout is a 3km return hike located in Freycinet National Park Tasmania. The closest town is Coles Bay, where we were staying for 2 nights.
Of course, there are much more to do than a simple walk around Wineglass Bay. You can do a short 10 minutes walk, 2 hours walk, half a day walk, kayaking, overnight walk, scenic drive, rock climbing, fishing etc. The hike to the national park is not free. There’s a self-paying box outside the park. We put in $24 per car (up to 8 people).
We did a 1.5 hours return walk to Wineglass Bay Lookout. The track is fairly easy with the steep uphill walk on a rocky, well-constructed track within the Freycinet National Park.#infinitypool #staycation #奢华酒店 #beachlife #themepark
