This Week In Tasmania Autumn 2026

TASMANIA exploring

The North West

Separated from the Australian mainland by the restless waters of the Bass Strait, Tasmania gleams like a jewel at the edge of the world. Small but mighty, this island state is a treasure trove of wonders waiting to enchant all who cross its shores.

While Tasmania is Australia’s smallest state and the world’s 26th-largest island, measuring 68,401 square kilometres — the size of Switzerland and Ireland. It feels intimate yet abundant, offering ease of navigation paired with boundless adventure.

Whether your journey begins aboard the Spirit of Tasmania ferry, an 11-hour voyage from Melbourne that stirs anticipation as you approach Devonport’s welcoming shores, or you arrive by air, swooping into Hobart, Launceston, Devonport, or Burnie, where the promise of exploration unfurls like a dramatic novel, with a rental car at your ready, the island’s marvels become yours to uncover.

Tasmanian roads are ribbons of possibility, winding through landscapes so varied they feel like chapters in an epic tale. Snow-white beaches gleam under azure skies, rugged mountain peaks cradle wisps of cloud, and ancient forests whisper secrets of a bygone era. Whether you seek thrilling hikes, bustling markets, or wildlife encounters, Tasmania promises moments that will stay with you forever. While you can drive around the island’s 1250km roadway route in around 20 hours, take your time. A 7 to 14-day sojourn is

Launceston & The North East

The West Coast

Hobart & Southern Regions

just enough to savour Tasmania’s gourmet delights—fresh oysters, creamy cheeses, cool-climate wines, and exquisite whiskies—all while losing yourself in the islands surrounding raw beauty. Trails beckon in every direction, temptations too alluring to ignore.

The Great Eastern Drive unveils the Bay of Fires, where orange-laced boulders meet crystalline waters, while the Tamar Valley Wine Trail invites you to sip sensational wines and bask in panoramic vistas. Fancy a brush with history? Venture onto the Convict Trail and walk among echoes of the past around Port Arthur and Richmond.

For thrill-seekers, the island’s 4WD routes promise exhilarating rides through rugged terrain. Imagine traversing the Climes Track’s coastal hills or navigating the Saw Back Range into Gordon River’s untamed allure.

Meanwhile, foodies will delight in meeting Tasmanian artisans along trails dedicated to culinary wonders. And the weather! While Tasmania has a temperate climate dominated by four distinct seasons, western Tasmania is buffeted by the dramatic Roaring Forties winds, drenching its rugged coasts in wild splendour. The east, sheltered and serene, offers calmer climes perfect for idyllic explorations. Wherever you roam, though, a National Park Pass grants access to Tasmania’s crown jewels. The most economical option is the annual pass, which provides unlimited access. With every twist of the road and every turn of the trail, Tasmania reveals itself—a land of splendour, story, and soul. Download the Discover Tasmania app and let your adventure unfold. The island waits, ready to captivate you.

COAST West

WILD

AND RUGGED, TASMANIA’S WEST COAST IS RICH IN MINING HISTORY, RAINFOREST ADVENTURES, AND STUNNING COASTAL LANDSCAPES

Tasmania’s West is wild. It’s where Tasmanian tigers roamed, convicts barely hung on, and mining pioneers went boom or bust. Ghost towns here are as real as the untamed rivers, raw windswept coastline, remote snow-covered alpine plains and cool, misty rainforests. It’s a World Heritage-listed wilderness framed by snowy peaks. Partake in one of the many festivals that transform the region with art, music, and interactive displays. White-water rafting, sailing, and hiking are all options, and you can enjoy the crisp air and stunning lookouts on the Lyell Highway. The 99 Bends road drops you into Queenstown’s

surreal moonscape and follows the historical West Coast Wilderness Railway track into a forested former mining country. It’s an adventurous journey of detours and tales.
