Every destination has its to-do list----go to Pairs and not climb the tower? No, And if you take a trip to Tasmania, give yourself two weeks and you can pretty much do all the must-sees in the island state.And then you might want seconds.Why? Well, for every famous destination, Tasmania has a secret side trip.
Walls of Jerusalem
The Walls of Jerusalem are a series of beautiful valleys covered with pines.The paths are walk-in only (leave your car at the path heading south of Mole Creek).
Deloraine
Tasmanian towns don’t get much more attractive than Deloranine, lying at the foothills of the Great Western Tiers.Although it does get some tourism traffic, it has kept its soul.And if you time things right, you can go shopping at Deloraine’s Showground Market (first Saturday of each month).
Narawntapu National Park
Until recently, this place was called Asbestos Range National Park.Don’t you just want to go? A wish name change should result in more people making a side trip.The land here is special, with wetlands at the edges.It really comes to life at nightfall as the birds play.
Bothwell
Off the Midland Highway, Bothwell gets less traffic so you may be alone as you wind through the cemetery of St Luke’s Church where some of the headstone inscriptions (碑铭) are so old that they have worn away to a shadow.
Maria Island
How about an island, off the coast of an island? There are ferry services from Triabunna and Orford to Maria Island.Walkers can take a ferry to the top meeting of Bishop &Clerk, or walk to sandstone along the coast.(see mariaisland.com.au)
