Discover Tasmania

Explore the Western Wilderness

Find yourself in an ancient world, surrounded by untouched wilderness, dramatic rivers and some of the most precious World Heritage Area wilderness on earth.

  • Raft a wild path carved by the mighty Franklin River.
  • Walk deep into the heart of pristine rainforest.
  • Curl up beside a wood fire overlooking Macquarie Harbour.

Rugged, untamed and windswept, the west coast reflects nature in her wildest mood. Venture to Tasmania’s west and you will find a coastline that will make you feel like you’ve reached the edge of the world.

Lace up your boots and tackle the craggy peaks of Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park; reward yourself with a cruise across the glassy waters of Lake St. Clair, Australia’s deepest freshwater lake (near Derwent Bridge) on the way.

Venture along a wilderness railway and learn about the pioneering history of this unique region or travel deep underground on an unforgettable mining tour in Queenstown.

Marvel at the artistry of an extraordinary carving - 100 metres of Huon Pine known as 'The Wall in the Wilderness' depicting Central Highlands' history.
