#2023travelwish Our first stop after having lunch in Port of Hobart, was Mt Wellington. It took us around 25 minutes from Sandy Bay by driving. There were snow on the mountain and view was amazing. Temperature was cold at the summit, make sure to keep warm. We went there again next day at night time waiting for Southern Lights, but too bad the weather was a bit cloudy. We shall catch the Southern Lights in next visit to Tasmania. #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #fallingforfall #awesomepic #tasmania #mtwellington

Who says tasmania is all about view, nature, hikes and outdoors? Tasmania is also a country with amazing culinary food at almost every corner. Blur Eye Seafood Restaurant located at 1 Castray Esplanade, battery point TAS 7004 is not to be missed if you are looking for something in-between of fine dining and causal dining located right by the waterfront and a short walk from the ever popular salamanca market. They are open every day except on Sunday and open on Monday from 5pm, but do recommend to make a booking before heading down to the restaurant as surprisingly this is very popular among locals. I believe this is due to the freshness of the seafood and the beautifully shucked oysters. Don't be taken back at their pricing, agreed that this is abit on the high side but this is definitely a bucketlist to try when in hobart for a great seafood meal. #bucketlistreboot #seafood #foodie #restaurant #hobart #restaurant #greatseafood #musteat #foodlover #seafoodlover

There are many beautiful prestine beaches in tasmania where popular beaches like Coles Bay, WineGlass Bay, Bruny Island and one where we went was ocean beach located near Strahan Village. Ocean Beach is a long stretch of beach with unblocked views. This beach is approximately 40km long and is worth a visit. Along the beach there are also couple of sand dunes that you are able to climb up and even with the possibility sliding down die to the very soft sands here. It is recommended to just drop by here to absorb the views but as most reviews and locals say that it's not recommended to swim here due to the strong currents, and plus the cold water I too don't think its a good idea. #bucketlistreboot #beaches #beachlovers #beachlife #tasmania #oceanview #australia #vacation #holidaydestination

When road tripping in Tasmania you should stop by at the Tasman Arch and the many other lookout located at EagleHawk Neck TAS 7179 where you will also be able to see other sea cliffs loke the Blowhole, the lookout point and also the devil's kitchen all situated around each other. Thus is a other area where you will be able to also do some hikes as each attraction/lookout is situated about a 12-15min walk. This is a relatively easy walk with not much of gradual ups and down. These arches are natural arches made by the waves crashing onto these cliffs for many years, forming these natural beautiful cliffs. These is a must visit when you are here, to admire the natural beauty of these cliffs. #bucketlistreboot #tasmania #tasman #tassie #australia #seacliffs #arches #naturalwonders #lookoutpoint #attraction

Tasmania was amazing. The snow at Ben Lomond Snow Sports was incredible and loads of fun snow boarding and Tabogganing. The views were spectacular everywhere we travelled in Tasmania, i would move there in a heart beat. Mt Wellington was also amazing and Mole Creek caves and Hastings Cave and thermal springs was just perfect. We will definately be going back to visit this beautiful place again.

As many people know that Tasmania is a beautiful place to visit, this is some of daily views on the way to work 😍 #tas

There is so much to love when autumn comes. For starters, the temperature is perfect! It's chilly yet bright and sunny at the same time. I enjoy basking in the sun during the day without worrying about breaking out in sweat. It's always a great idea to spend some time outdoors, admiring the trees that are changing in colour or just kicking up dried leaves that have fallen onto the ground. Sometimes, these are the little things in life that remind me that beauty is all around me, as long as I take the time to slow down and appreciate what life has to offer. #createwithtrip #autumn #naturewonders #tasmania #australia

The Port Arthur Historic Site is the best-preserved convict settlement in Australia and among the most significant convict era sites in the world. It has won many awards and has been called one of Australia's great tourism destinations. The Site combines rich history and scenic beauty to tell the stories of the harsh discipline and determined industry of the settlement. It is a place to discover Australian history and connect with the origins of Australian culture. #uniquehotel #templeblessed #eventcelebration #art #happylaborday #camping#themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

While driving from Waitomo to the East Coast beaches I stopped and visited Marokopa Falls. I packed a picnic and when we got to the bottom of the path we ate and enjoyed the waterfall! The walk was about 1/2 a mile down and there were plenty of places you could easily stop and rest on the way back up if needed. This is an excellent spot to stop and stretch your legs after driving. #happynewyear #couplestrip #happynewyear

Bruni Island in Tasmania has the most beautiful lighthouse I have ever seen. The coastline of 50 kilometers is only 600 permanent residents. There are still good whisky wineries, cheese factories, oyster farms...

Cradle Mountain National Forest is located in Tasmania, Australia. As early as 35,000 years ago, Tasmanian aborigines explored here. In winter, there are snow-capped mountains and mountains, and there are streams of tumbling waves in summer. A wide variety of wild animals and plants in the forest park are scattered throughout the virgin forest, and it is possible to see the endangered "Tasmanian demon" - the bag. In 2013, Cradle Mountain National Forest Park also established a friendly scenic relationship with Jiuzhaigou Scenic Spot in China. You must buy a ticket to enter Cradle Mountain. The hotel you stay in is the starting point of the Cradle Mountain hiking route, but you must return one kilometer to the Cradle Mountain Visitor Center. The car can drive into the Cradle Mountain Scenic Area, but the staff repeatedly wants to avoid it. Come to the car. Tickets: Adults are 16.5 Australian dollars and cars are 33 Australian dollars. It is limited to one car and two people, and there is no double charge. Cradle Mountain has a lot of hiking routes. There is no such thing as a good view and the best. It feels very beautiful. Depending on your physical strength and time, most of them will choose to walk around the lake. The lake is blue and the mountain is snowy. The blue sky and white clouds above the head (when the luck is good), the mountain winds face, I feel really comfortable. At first I thought it was the treasure bag of the town of Tasmania. Later, I found out that it was not stupid, not afraid of people, and always burying my head to eat, very cute.

Cradle Mountain has become Tasmania's most famous landscape, because there are snow-capped mountains, turbulent waves, and calm lakes. The 65km long hiking trail can be selected for the Overland Track, which is completed in one week. It is also suitable for a small and small boardwalk. We looked at the map and selected a hiking route with a slightly higher difficulty factor. From the beginning of the Overland Track, through the desolate alpine mud, along the tumbling waves, up the mountain to the hidden crater lake. Walking alone on the gravel-covered hiking trails is even more ridiculous against the backdrop of dead trees. At the top of the mountain, I finally saw the famous Pigeon Lake. Not far from the powdery jade, the snow-capped mountains are so fascinating. In fact, looking at the pigeon lake is also a pleasant thing.

Kelinjia Farm is a 4-star hotel located near Hobart. It is one of the most popular hotels in Hobart. With its unique humanistic quality and its beautiful and beautiful feelings, it attracts customers to visit. In recent years, many Chinese have come to the farm, so that when the farmer talks with us, he will occasionally pick up a few Chinese sentences, various accents, and various tastes to show that the customers who teach him Chinese come from China. . . Night farm, little stars, you can see the stars lying on the bed of the cabin. These three photos are the stars that I used to shoot with my mobile phone. You can shoot so many stars with your mobile phone. Can you think of the night? How beautiful the stars are.

Near the city of Launceston, there is a literary mural town called Sheffield. In Tasmania, you can enjoy the natural scenery of fertile cattle and sheep, and come to this town to experience a strong cultural atmosphere. In the sun, the walls of the town shine with colorful colors, but because of the sparsely populated afternoon, the quietness of the dust is revealed. In 2007, Eason Chan came here and followed the local customs and created a mural. The content is that he walked alone on the Cradle Mountain in Tasmania and wanted to be alone. Because of his paintings, the town was later popular with Chinese tourists. In the past ten years, the annual award-winning murals displayed in the town center have been changing, and only Eason Chan's paintings have been preserved to this day. When the car just entered the mural town, it felt that the art was strong, and there were all kinds of murals on the two sides of the house, as if the whole town was a giant mural exhibition hall. I am a fan of Dr. Chen, but this painting, as an art professional, you know. I think Dr. Chen didnt think that a painting he had been painting was still in existence for ten years...

If you want to experience the Swiss style in Australia, the town of Grindelwald in the north of Launceston, Tasmania is a great location. The town of Grindelwald, built entirely in the Swiss town, is located in the scenic Tamar Valley, in Launceston. On the way to Cradle Mountain, if you have plenty of time, its a good choice to spend a leisurely afternoon here. The origin of this Swiss town on a distant Oceania is a touching love story. It is said that a Swiss couple came to live in Tasmania, but because the wife has been unable to adapt to the living environment here, she was depressed all the time. The husband built several Swiss-style houses for his wifes thoughts. Later, neighboring neighbors followed suit and slowly formed the current Swiss-style small village.
