Cradle Mountain Beauty

the amazingly beautiful cradle mountain! so beautiful even during the raining days! definitely a re-boosting hiking and memorial experience for life. immersing into the true nature and have fun with photo shooting, with this scene, cannot have bad photos!! featuring the little water fisherman house, the lake, the mountain, the fog (because of the raining day!), the green and the nature who made it all!!

Peace and Tranquillity at Cradle Mountain

Getting There - Cradle Mountain National Park Tasmania Australia Attractions - Hiking and tourist centre Hotels - several available nearby Lots of walking track options to meet all fitness levels. We walked around the lake just a shame the cloud were not on our side. The cradle was not visible for most of the hike but the rest of the scenery was stunning. #gooutside #nofilter

Cradle Mountain - Dove Lake Circuit

A Trip is not complete is Tasmania if you do not drop by Cradle Mountain. Cradle Mountain is popular due to its synonymous with nature, wilderness and all things pristine. It is like a place out of a picture, with abundance in this spectacular national park giving opportunities to encounter many wild life, which we encounter an Echidna. Such adorable but shy little creature. It is also filled with many lookouts and hikes from amateur to professionals. Dove Lake Circuit is one of Tasmania's premier nature walk and was a relatively easy hike and took us about 2hours to complete, minus the photo taking and such. The total circuit is a 6km loop which a few lookouts. The walk is easy because there is a man-made broad walk for most of its way and is suitable for elderly and kids. From the parking lot, you can already see the amazing view of backdrops of mountains but of course parking may be limited, do also check the weather, on the day we went, it started snowing and we all got a bit wet and was chilly as well. It was definitely an amazing hike with such spectacular, breathtaking view at every corner. This is definitely a recommended attraction to go. #adventure #explorer #awesomepic #lakes #wintergetaway #nationalpark #nature #mountains #cradlemountain #tasmania #tassie #lakeview #hikes #hiking #breathtaking #thisislife

Amazing views all around Cradle Mountain!

VIEWS FOR DAYSSSSS Photos and videos just don't do justice to the beauty of Cradle Mountain. There are a few hiking trails around the mountain, of different difficulty level. I did an 8 hour hike to the summit and then around dove lake. Some bouldering involved at the summit, which was really tough and technical but nothing impossible with some patience and determination :) Getting to Cradle Mountain is easy by car. There is a shuttle bus that brings visitors to the different start point of the hike trails/ look out points. Be sure that you have a national park pass first to access the mountain. There are a few hotels/ Airbnbs around Cradle Mountain too. Didn't get to stay at any but would have loved to! #hiking #viewsfordays #mountain #hiketrip #hiketrail

Remarkable Cave

The name of the place is perhaps a slight overstatement when it comes to the cave itself. Still, it's worth the 10 minute drive here if you're already visiting Port Arthur for the coastal views around the site, and there are some great walks in the area if you have an hour or two to spare.

Port Arthur Historic Site

Could have easily spent a second day at the Port Arthur Historic Site. There's so much to see and learn. The whole place is beautiful, open, and absolutely sprawling (which is not something I ever expected to say about a prison!).

Port Arthur UNESCO Heritage Site

Tasmania is filled with many natural landscape but do you know it is also filled with many stories and historic sites from ages ago? One is the Port Aurther Historic Site located at in the south east of horbart, where it is approx a 90mins drive around the coast to reach. This is a place that you have to visit as it was deemed under the UNESCO World Heritage Site where there are historic buildings dating back to the 18th/19th centuries along the cliffsode overlooking the coast. This place has many tales where it wad once a place for convicts in a 4 story Penitentiary. A huge Penitentiary which consists of an asylum, hospital and a church. There are also tales of ghost story here which can be quite scary to some. Do make this a bucketlist here in tasmania so as to understand the many history cultural and story this place has to offer. #bucketlistreboot #australia #tasmania #portarthur #historical #history #unesco #historicalsite #cultural #culturaltrip

Beautiful Nature Reserve in Launceston

We had half a day to fill in Launceston before our flight home and stumbled upon this peaceful and scenic nature reserve by chance. Tucked away behind a residential area you wouldn't think of finding such an open area like this but it is well worth the trip if you are in Launceston. There are a couple of easy walking tracks and a couple for more ambitious walkers as well as a fun gondola and cafe for those who like to take it easy. We started our visit in the cafe and ended there as well because the food was so delicious. #gooutside #foodie #nature

Cataract Gorge, Launceston

Great trip to Cataract Gorge. Took the chairlift which travels at appropriate speed, allowing you to take in the views around you and below. Be sure to wear covered shoes since your legs will be dangling in the air. We took the chair for both ways as we are travelling with seniors and it's very very very cold. You can also buy 1 way and then walk to the other side or walk back from the other side. It should be a very scenic walk and I would suggest that you buy 1 way and walk the other leg if you can. Since its winter now, be prepared to wear thick clothings or layer yourself up. A good day trip if you are visiting Launceston. #wintertime #cataractgorge #launceston #tasmania

Cataract Gorge follow by drive to Bicheno.

Wonderful Time at Cataract Gorge, Launceston. The chairlift travels at an appropriate pace, allowing you to take in the scenery below and around you. Then off to Campbell Town for pit stop cum lunch. Continue our journey to Bicheno where we will stay over for a night. As it is winter now, sun sets around 4.4xpm. Took pics of sunset, crescent appearing in the sky and after sun has set. Rested a while and we went for lobster at Lobster Shack Tasmania. The lobster meat is firm, chunky and fresh. Size is big too. Also had chilled prawns and seafood platter. All are nice. #wintergetaway #tasmania #cataractgorge #seafood #bicheno

Cataract Gorge Reserve

#australiatrip A lovely recreation and picnic ground steeped in history. Great cafe, playgrounds, swimming pool, and amenities with well maintained gardens and walking trails to explore the beautiful natural surroundings. Of course there is also the famous old chairlift across the gorge. Well worth the small parking fee and short drive from Launceston CBD.

In Hobart, Australia, a unique sea time About Hobart This beautiful harbour city is located under the hills of Wellington in Tasmania. It is also the southernmost city in Australia. At first sight of Hobart, it is a cold wind, with a bit of bleak autumn scenery. But the whole city is full of pleasant and casual taste. Hobart is famous for its specialties, seafood, art museums and natural river harbors and sea scenery. The local culture and unique natural scenery are perfectly combined. The museum is different It is located in the middle of the sea, so it is only by boat. This is a museum full of art, creativity and design, with many interesting art installations. There is also a very interesting project in the evening, which is a picnic. Sit on the lawn, taste cheese and wine, and admire the beautiful vineyards. Hobart goes out to sea I have friends who say that he likes Tasmania very much, because the nature here is an unparalleled fresh taste. When you go out to sea, remember to bring a thick dress. The boat is very fast and the wind is very big, but before the beautiful scenery, the sun is shining, you will only feel the sun is warm, the scenery in front of you is like a painting. The guides of the peers actually jumped into the water and caught fresh and delicious seafood under the water. Sea urchins, salmon, abalone, lobsters, all fresh. Cook a little and enjoy the delicious. When I returned, I actually took the helm and experienced the boating myself. It was so interesting that the endless sea rushed to the end of the day.

Known as the world's darkest and mysterious museum, it is opened by professional gamblers and even exhibits human body excretion simulators! Taiwan's local billionaire David Walsh is both a math genius and a professional gambler. He is arrogant and rebellious, hates traditional museums, and he wants to build "the adult's own Disneyland". In 2006, the MONA Museum of Ancient and Modern Art was established. It was born in 2011. The largest private museum in the Southern Hemisphere may be just David Walsh's new toy, but because everything here is full of novelty, quirks, and mystery, it has been repeatedly named The World Must Go Museum, attracting many visitors to explore. MONA is short for Museum of Old and New Art. The name of the founder is quite traditional:) MONA is located on the Berriedale peninsula in Hobart. Ferries can be taken from the Hobart downtown terminal to the pier at the MONA Museum, with 7 round trips per day during the winter season. Flowers and flowers on the ferry in the VIP VIP room to enjoy the fine light food and drinks, while watching the scenery slowly outside the window, very leisurely. MONA covers an area of 3.5 hectares and is picturesque. The most special is the museum of 8 exhibition halls of ancient and contemporary art designed by the best designers from the local and international. The layers are embedded in the Triassic sandstone on the river bank! The total construction area is hidden within 10 meters below the ground.

Hobart's Top Tourist Attraction

MONA (Museum of Old and New Art) Reasons to visit: MONA is one of the most original and innovative art museums in the world, offering unique exhibitions that combine traditional and contemporary art. Visitors get more than just the opportunity to view the artworks; they can interact with them, leaving a lasting impression. The architectural design of the museum itself is also very distinctive, making the visit a pleasure in its own right. Downsides: The content of the exhibitions can be somewhat challenging and provocative, so caution is advised when visiting with children. Additionally, the museum is quite large, so it can take a considerable amount of time to see everything, making it advisable to plan your visit with plenty of time to spare.
