Last week, the TTIC crew packed their bags (and snacks) and hit the road to Launceston for the Tasmanian Tourism Conference. I was joined by four fantastic team members, and together we dove into two days of inspiration, innovation, and a whole lot of learning.
The opportunity to visit Launceston over the Easter school holidays just couldn’t be passed up. We planned to experience adventure, great food and feel the vibe of Launceston in an overnight trip.
Our adventure began with a drive to the stunning Larapuna / Bay of Fires area in the Northeast of Tasmania. Known for its breathtaking landscapes, this region did not disappoint.
A camping trip to Maria Island in Tasmania is one of the most memorable outdoor adventures you can have. Located off the east coast, Maria Island is a stunning blend of natural beauty, rich wildlife, and historic significance. My trip combined cycling, hiking, and camping in a way that made the most of the island’s incredible scenery and peaceful atmosphere. Here’s a breakdown of the journey, from getting there to exploring the island. Enjoy!
If you’re from Sydney or Melbourne or even Brisbane and just coming to Tassie and more specifically Nipaluna / Hobart what would I do? Hmm… of course, it depends on one’s interests, so here are a few of my thoughts:
At the beginning of 2025, my wife and I journeyed over to the west coast of Tasmania to spend 3 nights in Strahan. Located a 5-hour drive from Hobart, we left early, around 7 am, and headed for our first stop, New Norfolk, home to some great antique shops and great viewpoints such as the Pulpit Rock Lookout. While we didn't stop off at any of the distilleries or breweries, as it was a little too early in the morning, there’s a few that are open for tastings.
