If you’ve seen our last two posts you may alread

If you’ve seen our last two posts you may already think that Tasmania’s eastern coast is full of wild beauty, but if you thought it couldn’t get any better, behold the Tasman Peninsula. Three rugged capes punctuate this land and make up a popular (and expensive) hike that for some reason only visits two of them. We chose to visit all three capes, two on day hikes and the longest one as an overnight. With the tallest sea cliffs in the southern hemisphere, this place has to be seen to be believed.

Moving a bit south down Tasmania’s eastern coast

Moving a bit south down Tasmania’s eastern coast from the Bay of Fires, you’ll soon find the Freycinet peninsula and its eponymous national park, one of Tasmania’s first and its most visited. Freycinet’s star feature is Wineglass Bay, a picturesque beach that is regularly counted among the best in Australia and the world. But the views certainly don’t stop there - getting away from the crowds and exploring the park’s nooks and crannies will reward the senses.

The eastern coast of Tasmania is stunning from top

The eastern coast of Tasmania is stunning from top to bottom, and it starts in the northern part with the Bay of Fires. Named by an explorer who noted the fires of Aboriginals on the beaches, the name perhaps equally applies to the striking appearance of the ubiquitous orange lichen growing on the rocky granite coastline. Add in white sand and clear blue water and you’ve got one of the best beaches on the planet.

Tasmania’s Ben Lomond National Park is mostly a ski destination, but if you dare to drive up the precarious switchbacked road known as Jacob’s Ladder, you’ll find a beautiful open plateau with a nice circuit hike around the summit area. Pro tip: you’ll want to use a low gear to climb this pitted gravel road, as I had to show the occupants of the car in front of us when I hopped in their car to ease them out of the ditch they managed to get stuck in on a particularly rough corner. 😆🚫🏎️🏁

Tasmania’s Walls of Jerusalem National Park has no road access, so the only way to experience this beautiful place is to grab your hiking shoes and sleeping bag and get amongst it. We spent three days, including one very chilly night, exploring the “central walls” area and taking in the majestic solitude (except the other snoring campers).

The Aurora Australis makes an appearance as the moon rises over Tasmania’s Southwest National Park on a starry night. Although this aurora wasn’t really visible to the naked eye, it was a nice surprise to see the colors pop out in the camera.

A long day out up and around Dove Lake at the foot of Cradle Mountain rewards with some (literally) breathtaking views. This day also featured our first encounter with the cuddly wombat, but unlike some other dumb American tourists, we did not pick them up.
