Smell Tasmania’s cool, fresh, clean air as apple orchards blossom, wild daffodils burst through green pastures, and lambs are born and fattened.

See striking Tasmanian Waratah in Ben Lomond National Park, 1500m above sea level, coastal drifts of wild flowers at Narawntapu National Park, and lavender fields inbetween (at Rowella or Nabowla).

Taste the fruits of the orchards, picked with your own hands at country towns from Lebrina to Hillwood via Underwood and beyond…

Hear welcome swallows nesting under country verandas, in majestic homesteads, or at the Tamar Island Wetlands Reserve.

Touch a cold bottle of Australia’s best sparkling wine, method Tasmanoise of course…

Balance your life: the world’s flyfishing champions believe Tasmania’s highland lakes are the best in the world for trout fishing...and they’re biting now!
