Flinders Island - An island for all seasons
Flinders Island is a year-round destination – warm and sunny summers, calm and cool autumns, breezy spring times and chilly winters, when it’s great to rug up for a beach walk to watch the weather rolling in, then return to a cosy log fire. It’s amazingly easy to observe the island’s wildlife. Visit the Patriarch Sanctuary for close encounters with native animals; and drive to globally-significant wetland areas to see migratory wading birds and watch the spectacle of shearwaters returning in thousands to their burrows at dusk. At Trousers Point, all the wonders of the Flinders Island landscape come together – pure white sand, red granite rocks, azure waters – with the jagged peaks of Mt Strzelecki rising beyond groves of shady casuarinas.
Whether they are fishermen, wine makers or walking-guides, you will hear a different life story from friendly locals whose values are shaped by the rhythms of nature, and the stunning beauty of the east coast. At its northern extremity is Flinders Island, where you can hunt for the Killiecrankie 'diamond', or dive into a world of giant crabs and crays.

Launceston
Tasmania’s Launceston, Tamar and the North region sparkles with a diverse range of assets and engaging visitor experiences, all within an hour’s drive. With award-winning vineyards and spectacular scenery, the Tamar Valley meanders from the boutique city of Launceston to the empty white sands of Bass Strait. Launceston is ideal for exploring – you’re seldom without a view of the Tamar River, and the shopping and dining experiences are truly unique. While touring this celebrated region, you can explore its many charming villages featuring arts, crafts and antiques, and pass through well-preserved towns full of majestic country estates, historic private homes and elegant public buildings. Launceston itself has the largest collection of meticulously preserved 19th century buildings in Australia.
Outside the city, natural heritage and secluded beaches beckon from West Head to Bridport. The wilderness is tantalisingly nearby, with so much potential for adventure and coming close to some of our friendlier wildlife: from the rainforest waterfalls of St Columba, Ralph and Cuckoo Falls, to the magnificent gorges of Holwell, Notley and the spectacular Cataract Gorge – right in the heart of the city. Whatever your flavour, don’t leave Tasmania without experiencing our region and all it has on offer.
