A journey to Tasmania is a rare chance to disconnect from stress and reconnect with the things that matter. About 40 per cent of the island is protected wilderness, which are easily accessible. Geographic isolation has contributed to unique biodiversity, and it has also fostered a rare community of creative, own-to-earth, resourceful people with time to make you feel welcome. One of the joys of travelling in Tasmania is not just the chance to taste produce straight from the farm and ocean, but the ease of meeting the makers at cellar doors, farm gates and local markets. Find stories and freedom on drive journeys connecting wild places, quintessential Tassie towns and friendly locals. With four distinct seasons, there’s always something new to see, taste and feel.
