Itinerary

Welcome to Hobart and the Apple Isle. Your two-night Scenic Special Stay features splendid harbour views. Once you’ve unpacked, go for a stroll around picturesque Salamanca Wharf before a special Taste of Tasmania welcome dinner. (D)

Today you'll depart Hobart for the breathtaking Freycinet National Park, but along the way you'll stop in Richmond and see the Richmond Bridge. Built by convict labourers in 1825, it's the oldest stone arch bridge in Australia.

Scenic Enrich: Discover the award-winning cheeses of Pyengana Dairy Company, reputed to produce Australia’s finest cheddar, and delight your tastebuds with a delicious sampling.

Journey from the coast via Legerwood and encounter a unique World War I memorial. Planted in 1918, 25 trees have been carved into sculptures of WWI soldiers. From there, it's only an hour before you arrive in the riverside city of Launceston.

Enjoy a two-night stay at your landmark hotel, itself forged from a heritage grain silo building. (B/D)
