5 Ways to Cram the Most into Your Trip to Tasmania
Australia’s island of Tasmania is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Not only does it boast the cleanest air on the planet, but it is home to the oldest trees in existence today. The Huon pine trees have been populating Tasmania for over ten thousand years.
If you’re planning to visit Tasmania this year to explore more of the island’s unique treasures, here are five ways you can make the most of your time in one of the most stunning places on Earth.
Tasmania is known for its ecotourism industry, with a large number of spots around the island that are home to some of the most stunning ecotourist activities.
For example, you can take a stroll on the Tahune Airwalk which is suspended above the rainforest canopy near Geeveston. The walkway allows tourists to view the intricate workings of the rainforest whilst preserving it in all its beauty for the future and preventing accidental erosion and destruction.
If you’re taking a career break to travel, why not embark on a course of online learning to boost your career prospects on your return?
Many online providers like SMC Education offer a wide range of business courses from an MBA to a PhD, all from the comfort of a desk from anywhere in the world!
Whether you want to pursue a venture for your own business or simply upskill yourself in your existing role, an online MBA, DBA or PhD will get you well on your way to success.
Only a 90 minute journey from Hobart, the capital city of Tasmania, Port Arthur is a reminder of the island’s past as a settlement for convicts in the 1800s.
The site carries an important historical significance to the island and can be a fascinating history lesson to those wanting to learn more about Tasmania’s history.
Tasmania is full of volunteering opportunities, and there’s something for everyone, whether you want to work as a tutor, a hospital volunteer, or an ocean cleaner.
These opportunities will allow you to experience the magic of Tasmania first hand, whilst contributing to the local economy and the surrounding environment.
If you’re a fan of sports or exercise, you might enjoy the Overland Track. One way, the track is 65km long and very challenging. It’s a recommended activity for experienced bushwalkers and usually takes around 6 days to complete, with camping along the way.
Boulders, waterfalls and rainforests are among the features you will encounter on your journey, with potentially threatening weather conditions. There are unforgettable views in both sunshine and snow, just make sure to pack accordingly!
With around 20% of the island reserved as national Heritage land, much of the original extraordinary features of the island remain preserved without being spoiled by the modern complexities of human settlement.
You can visit these protected sites, but also unique wildlife sanctuaries like the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary that is home to the Tasmanian devil, native birds and the Tasmanian bettong to name just a few. These places are a wonderful representation of what Tasmania has to offer for wildlife and nature lovers, so be sure to get stuck in where you can.
