LAKE PEDDER Surrounded by mountains deep in the wilderness of Southwest Tasmania, the waters of this hydro lake drive the turbines in the underground Gordon Power Station and offer outstanding trout fishing. At the end of the road is the spectacular double-curved arch of the Gordon Dam, which rises 140 metres from the river bed. THE LYELL HIGHWAY Linking the West Coast with Hobart, the highway you’re on crosses the high country of the Central Plateau and runs through the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. A memorable driving experience along the journey is negotiating the 100 hairpin bends into (or out of) Queenstown. QUEENSTOWN Like all boom & bust mining towns, fortunes have been made and lost in Queenstown, site of one of the world’s richest copper mines. Today, minerals are still dug from deep in the earth; above ground, some of the town’s fine heritage buildings are in use as the galleries and studios of a new generation of West Coast artists and craftspeople. WEST COAST WILDERNESS RAILWAY This train once carried ingots of pure copper from the Mt Lyell smelters down to waiting ships at Strahan. The same train now takes visitors through the rainforested gorges, crossing trestle bridges on its way to the shores of Macquarie Harbour. LAKE BURBURY Renewable energy to light and warm homes; clean & green power for businesses; wonderful trout fishing – it all comes from the waters of this hydro lake. After you cross Bradshaw Bridge, look for a track-line just above the valley floor on the left – it’s the old route to Queenstown and the West Coast. STRAHAN Gateway to World Heritage wilderness, this scenic fishing port is the home base of the cruise boats that make the voyage to the entrance of the harbour, stopping at the once- feared convict colony of Sarah Island and gliding into the lower reaches of the Gordon River, where ancient rainforests are reflected in dark water. MOUNT FIELD NATIONAL PARK In this historic national park you can stroll to a scenic waterfall, walk beneath the tallest flowering plants on Earth and drive into an alpine wonderland. Come in summer for wildflowers – come in winter for snow sports. NEW NORFOLK Settlers from Norfolk Island built this historic town on the River Derwent. Well-preserved Georgian and Victorian-era architecture and avenues of mature deciduous trees are among New Norfolk’s attractions. It’s also the place to pick up a bargain in one of the town’s antique shops. HOBART Nestled under its guardian Mt Wellington, Tasmania’s capital hugs the eastern and western shores of the River Derwent. The focal point of this maritime city is the picturesque docks precinct, scene of the colourful Hobart Summer Festival over the Christmas/New Year break; home of Salamanca Market every Saturday; and host to the fire and fun of Dark Mofo, which brightens and warms the Tasmanian mid-winter. SALMON PONDS The first salmon and trout eggs were brought here from England to hatch and stock Tasmanian lakes and rivers. The salmon didn’t survive – but the brown and rainbow trout were a huge success. MONA Brilliant, weird, challenging, bizarre, eclectic, hilarious, sublime – no adjectives do justice to David Walsh’s simply astonishing Museum of Old and New Art, MONA. The best way to get there is aboard the fast ferry MONA ROMA from the Hobart docks. NELSON FALLS NATURE TRAIL Stretch your legs and make the short climb to see a rainforest cascade. LAKE ST CLAIR Australia’s deepest lake was carved out by glaciers. It’s the end point of the famous Overland Track, one of the world’s best multi- day walks. Spend an hour or so in the Lake St Clair Park Centre, where you’ll learn about the region’s amazing geology, fascinating flora & fauna and rich human heritage. THE WALL This large-scale artwork is lifetime’s work for self- taught sculptor Greg Duncan, who is carving the stories of the high country in 100 panels of Huon pine, each three metres high and a metre wide. BOTHWELL Established in the 1820s by settler-graziers from Scotland (with some notable Welsh and Irish connections) this town has more than 50 heritage-listed buildings. It is the site of Australia’s oldest golf course, on the historic property ‘Ratho’. ‘Nant’ is another of the town’s heritage properties and the source of acclaimed single-malt whisky.
