Africa’s Serengeti Migration is known as the greatest animal show on earth. Wild animals on the move blanket the African landscape as far as the eye can see.

So strong is the ancient instinct to move that no drought, gorge or crocodile infested river can hold them back.

Separated from mainland Australia by the 240 km stretch of Bass Strait, Tasmania is a land apart – a place of wild and beautiful landscapes; friendly, welcoming people; a pleasant, temperate climate; wonderful wine and food; a rich history; and a relaxed island lifestyle.
Tasmania is a land of things to do and see.
On the island, you’ll contemplate days from a distant past – and let your senses savor the present. You can climb a remote peak, set foot on ancient shores, and meet amazing animals. Duck your head in a deep, dark cave. Climb up and down a family tree. Widen your horizons on a wilderness beach. Breathe the world’s freshest air in an ancient rainforest. Trek, taste, fish, fossick, shop, snap and stroll – and more, much more.

Landscapes include ancient rainforest and alpine heath lands, interspersed with button grass and stands of colorful, deciduous beech. Cradle Mountain itself is reflected in the still waters of the lakes that ring it.
