ccording to Alice Laing, the best time on the Tasmanian East Coast is sunrise. It’s worth waking up early to soak it up, especially if you can start the day with yoga overlooking the Freycinet Peninsula as she can from the deck of her home in Swansea. It’s a treasured moment of peace for Alice, who runs Tasman Sea Salt with her husband Chris Manson.
