North East

In the North East of the state, the coastal township of Bridport boasts one of Australia’s top golf courses – Barnbougle Dunes – that overlooks long stretches of white sand beach.

South and South East

Back in the South of Hobart take a ferry to Bruny, the island off an island, off an island - a haven for food lovers and explorers of wild trails, alike. Journey further south east to the historic town of Richmond and down to the Tasman Peninsula with its spectacular rugged coastline, geological features and the World Heritage listed convict sites at Port Arthur. Down further, just 2 hours from Hobart, experience Cockle Creek which is as far south in Australia as one can drive. And then pull on hiking shoes to walk the South Coast Track to South Cape Bay - the true bottom of Tasmania...any further south requires a sturdy boat, with Antarctica being the next landfall.
