✔️Things To Do
If you’re visiting Tassie at the beginning of the year, be sure not to miss these impressive lavender fields in the North of Tasmania at Bridestowe Estate.
Also located inside the Freycinet National Park are a chain of mountains like no others – The Hazards. Golden Hour (The hour before sunset) is absolutely magical.
✔️ Cradle Mountain National Park
As one of Tasmania’s most visited and most renowned attractions, a visit to the main midlands National Park, Cradle Mountain National Park, is an absolute must. There are a range of day walks for visitors to enjoy, or alternatively you can set off on the famous multi-day trek.
The West Coast Wilderness Railway perhaps as close as one will get to a trip on the Hogwarts Express without actually travelling to Scotland to hop on board the real deal.

LANDFORMS
Tasmania has many volcanoes but have all been inactive in recent geological times. Tasmania has rounded, smooth mountain ranges that are similar to those of the mainland. The most mountainous region is the ‘Central Highlands’ area, which covers most of the central western part of the state. The ‘Midlands’ is in the central eastern part and is mainly flat and predominantly used for agriculture and farming. The South West region has lots of forests and the national park there holds some of the last temperate rain forests in the Southern Hemisphere.
