Discover Tasmania: 6 reasons you should visit

When traveling around Australia, Tasmania often gets left off the map so to speak, or if it is included, only gets allocated a few days.

Tasmania deserves at least one to two weeks in its own right due to the immense beauty that exists for exploration. Consider these six reasons why should absolutely visit Tasmania.

The National Parks

Tasmania does have some breathtaking scenery. What is unique about Tasmania’s scenery is that it has a healthy mix between coastline and the mountains. One great example of a national park that has an exquisite coastline is Freycinet National Park. By taking a tour of Wineglass Bay, it is easy to see how gorgeous teal water meets white sand beaches. Also within Freycinet National Park is a place called The Hazards, which is a chain of mountains where you can admire gorgeous sunset if you make it there at the right time. Bay of Fires is another wonderful place to visit to experience the natural beauties that Tasmania has to offer. Cradle Mountain National Park is yet another park worth seeing in Tasmania.

There are Tulips

Previously, it was thought that Holland had the dominion over the world’s tulips; however, there are fields of tulips in Tasmania that stretch as far as the eye can see. The colors are composed of reds, yellow, pinks, and whites. Tourists in Tasmania should start with the Tulip Farm at Table Cape and be amazed at what is before their very eyes.

Climbing Options

Extraordinary Landscapes

Tasman Arch

As if Tasmania did not have enough natural beauty to boast in its National Parks, it also has several landscapes to witness that are not within their national parks. One example can be seen from the Tasman Arch. This arch is a cave with water underneath that has been sculpted into an arch over the years and has natural landscape on top of it. The site allows the tourist to spend time there, marveling at the beauty between the rocks, water, and plants combined into one stunning ecological preservation.

You Can See the Stars

The capital of Tasmania is Hobart. Near to Hobart is the Mount Wellington Observation Deck. Here tourists will be able to gaze at the stars in a view that is distinct from other cities due to how unobstructed the landscape is in Tasmania. This is a meaningful site that is absolutely worth a visit.

Tasmania has many riches to unveil to travellers. Even though it does take an extra effort to visit even from within Australia, it is absolutely worth it. The sites that you can see here are some that will not only allow you to take extraordinary photographs, but reward you with great travel memories as well. Thus, consider Tasmania for your next holiday because there is surely something in Tasmania for each member of your family to enjoy.
