Mount Field Campground
Campground
👍👍 We have been to Mount field campground twice on our visit to Tasmania and both times we enjoyed it. It’s a self check-in site, you fill out a form in the hut and put the money in an envelope. You will need a parks pass too, they come round and check your vehicles.
There are lots of sites, however we...

Sphinx Rock Lookout
Tourist attraction
🫤 If you've seen my other posts, you know I make fun of people, so it's time to make fun of myself...before getting to the actual spot, there is a warning fence and gate that mentions how dangerous it can be because of the drop-off. Well I had never seen any kind of gate like this one before, so I li...

Lake Dobson
Nature preserve
👍👍 Got our van up, drive dead slow as we met five vehicles coming down in the afternoon and it's sketchy narrow in parts. Plenty of parking for the many trailheads. The lakes and tarns are extremely beautiful in all weathers. Spend the whole day here. Ladies, it is still a pristine place, because I bur...

Styx State Forest
National forest
👍 So worth the slightly longer drive down the gravel road to get to the tall trees walk, though Tall is almost an understatement to describe the awesome eucalypt giants that dominate the rainforest in this unique part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.
These remarkable trees are aptly na...

Mount Field Visitor Centre
Visitor center
😠 This place is an ABSOLUTE DISGRACE. I drove 4 hours to get here only to discover they charge you $45 to go for a walk in the park!!! DO NOT COME HERE!!!! Tasmanians are off their rocker - mouthing off about being a greener state but then charging such astronomical prices that no one can afford to ev...

Lost Freight Cafe

👍👍 We were blessed to come across this little cafe on a random adventure.
Welcomed by the staff with a warm smile and hello.
Barista's were smashing it with the no stop orders and service while still being able to smile.
Single O coffee roasters on the menu, there was a single origin on batch brew t...

Myrtle Gully Falls
Tourist attraction
👍👍 A spit away from the Cascade Brewery you head into bush. Parking is before Google expects but clear for 3 cars in a bay or more back a few meters. Trails are all clearly marked.
Underfoot as you'd expect in October is soft in spots. Along the trail to Myrtle Gully Falls you'll see two distinct trai...
