It’s time to start dreaming of your next family trip. Here’s some destination inspiration for you. Take a visual journey through Tasmania with us.
On Maria Island, off the east coast of Tasmania, are the Painted Cliffs, a popular destination made of sandstone that formed beautiful patterns over millions of years. Oranges, yellows and reds emerge at low tide, and a path makes for easy access to witness this geological phenomenon up close. © Alexander Groffen | Dreamstime.com
Native to portions of Australia, including Tasmania, the eastern grey kangaroo is the second-largest and heaviest living marsupial and native land mammal in Australia. The protected animals can be spotted in open woodlands, forests and grazing areas around Tasmania. © Martin Pelanek | Dreamstime.com
Yes, the Tasmanian devil is a real animal, not just a Looney Tunes character. This marsupial was once also present in Australia but became extinct thousands of years ago, leaving the animal now only confined to Tasmania. Carnivorous and the size of a small dog, the Tasmanian devil is found all throughout the island, including the edges of urban areas. © Callan Chesser | Dreamstime.com
Also known as kunanyi, Mount Wellington looms over Hobart, Tasmania’s capital city. Rising more than 4,000 feet above sea level, the mountain can be ascended via many trails, where an enclosed lookout near the summit allows for views of the city below. From Hobart, the mountain’s dolerite columns can be spotted, too. © Tamara Bauer | Dreamstime.com
Within Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park is 5,000-foot-tall Cradle Mountain. More isolated than Mount Wellington, Cradle Mountain was the site of the last free Aboriginals in the area after Europeans came. Many walkways traverse the mountain and around Lake St. Clair, Australia’s deepest lake. Note: The hike up the mountain is relatively strenuous. © Tamara Bauer | Dreamstime.com
Did you know Tasmanian oysters are world renowned? And rightfully so, for Tasmania’s cold and clear waters make for premium-quality oysters. Tasmanian oysters are loved for the clean and crisp taste with a brininess. The Angasi and Pacific oysters are most popular, the former rarer with a meatier quality. © Housesboy | Dreamstime.com
