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.

The legendary Tasmanian Devil. Small in stature, voracious in appetite, endangered in number. While we haven’t seen any in the wild (other than as roadkill, like almost all other Tassie animals), no trip would be complete without a peak at these fabled cuddly little carnivores. A few sanctuaries around Tasmania are doing good work to keep populations of devils alive and reduce the spread or find a cure for an infectious cancer that spreads through bites and has decimated populations. We had a great evening learning about the devils and watching them feast on some delicious wallaby.
