Check out Ulysse<\/a> for your flight to Australia to receive preferential fares, no change fee and one checked bag up to 40kg.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n Hobart is the capital of Tasmania and the biggest city on the island. Most travellers will spend time in Hobart if flying onto the island (if travelling by ferry from Melbourne, your base will be Devonport in the north). Hobart is known for its culinary scene, art and culture, but also provides access to nature, as the city sits on the River Derwent at the foot of Mount Wellington.<\/p>\n Freycinet National Park extends across most of Tasmania\u2019s east coast, and is the joint oldest national park on the island (along with Mount Field). It is mostly known for its picture-perfect beaches, including the famous Wineglass Bay, and the pink-granite mountain range known as The Hazards. Top tip: purchase a Tasmania Parks Pass<\/a> if you\u2019re planning on visiting several of the national parks.<\/p>\n The Bay of Fires lines the northeast coast of Tasmania. Though the unique characteristic of this region is the orange lichen rocks, the bay\u2019s name actually comes from an English navigator in the 1700s, who saw burning fires lit by the island\u2019s Aboriginal population as he passed by the coast. The main activities in the Bay of Fires are coastal walks, beaches, ocean cruises, and mountain biking.<\/p>\n Cradle Mountain is one of Tasmania\u2019s most visited attractions. This national park has everything from rainforests to alpine moorlands and mountains. It is best known for stunning nature and an abundance of native wildlife. You can even climb the summit of Cradle Mountain, though it will take around 8 hours.<\/p>\n Located on the northwest coast of the island, Stanley is a small fishing town made up of preserved buildings that make you feel like you\u2019ve gone back in time. As well as its historic architecture, Stanley is mostly known for The Nut, the large volcanic plug that overlooks the town.<\/p>\n Launceston is a riverside city in the north of the island, and the third oldest city in Australia. The city looks over three rivers: the North Esk, South Esk and River Tamar. Launceston (or \u201cLaunnie\u201d to the locals) is a cultural and gastronomical hub, where winemakers, distillers and artists from around the world have come to settle. Expect plenty of fine dining from your time in Launnie!<\/p>\n Bruny Island is made up of two smaller islands (North and South Bruny) joined together by an isthmus of land called The Neck. You can reach Bruny Island by ferry from Kettering (32 km south of Hobart). Bruny Island has dramatic scenery (with the best landscapes in South Bruny National Park), as well as a thriving culinary scene.<\/p>\n Once a convict settlement, Port Arthur is now a town and UNESCO World Heritage Historic Site. The Historic Site spans over 40 hectares, made up of more than 30 historic buildings throughout the preserved settlement. As well as the former convict settlement, there are plenty of coastal walks, as Port Arthur sits on the Tasman Peninsula.<\/p>\n As well as holding the joint title of Tasmania\u2019s oldest national park, Mount Field is also one of the most diverse national parks on the island. The landscape is made up of towering waterfalls, glacial lakes, giant tree ferns and alpine plants. Mount Mawson<\/a>, located within the national park, turns into one of Tasmania\u2019s two ski fields in winter.<\/p>\n This small town of only 650 residents is mostly used by tourists as a base for exploring the west coast. Originally developed as a port, but now big in the timber and fishing industries, Strahan sits on the edge of historic Macquarie Harbour. It is considered one of the most isolated places in the south of Australia. Visitors to Strahan can expect a mix of sandy beaches and rugged wilderness, with many options for day trips in and around the UNESCO Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.<\/p>\n Most travellers to Australia stick to the mainland for their trip, so not everyone makes the journey across to the state of Tasmania. Don\u2019t miss out on all this unique island has to offer! Despite being the smallest of Australia\u2019s states, it\u2019s one of the most diverse states to visit. Tasmania has a thriving gourmet […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":458450,"featured_media":436323,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[201,614],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-436322","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-actualite","category-tourisme-en","pays-australie-en"],"acf":[],"comments_count":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pvtistes.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436322","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pvtistes.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pvtistes.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pvtistes.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/458450"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pvtistes.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=436322"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/pvtistes.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436322\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":449425,"href":"https:\/\/pvtistes.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436322\/revisions\/449425"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pvtistes.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/436323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pvtistes.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=436322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pvtistes.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=436322"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pvtistes.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=436322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}1.
