Dare to dream

While we’re all waiting for a time when we can roam freely around the state again, our staff have shared some of their favourite spots to visit.

A beautiful alpine environment, with views like those around Mt Field National Park, just one hour from Hobart – an easy and spectacular day trip.

Marion’s Lookout, Cradle Mountain, is a great spot to get away from the crowds and take a moment to take in the beauty of the Cradle Valley and beyond.
Todd Roberts, General Manager, Strahan Village and Cradle Mountain Hotel

Cradle Mountain is my favourite as I can get out and explore with my family. Our son Hugo really loves it and pointing out all the wildlife.

Bay of Fires is just an amazing place, expansive beaches, no development, very quiet and remote and rich in indigenous and colonial heritage.
Alex Luttrell, former employee

Strahan because it is so underrated. So much to see, do and explore, without the crowds.
Geoff Eyers, General Manager, Gordon River Cruises

The view of Strahan from the View 42 Restaurant and Bar deck is my favourite for a magnificent sunset.

As well as being visually beautiful to look at, I love the fagus for what it symbolises. It shows just how ancient and unscathed pockets of our wonderful island-home are, despite other environmental changes.

Cascade Gardens, because my daughter and I can have an adventure and discover something new each visit.

Fairy floss skies along the Great Eastern Drive were always a special favourite. There is something comforting about the child-like warm colours that welcome you home safely to the coast after a long day.

Freycinet on the east coast is my favourite spot because of its natural beauty. I love the area because it was where I saw whales in the wild for the first time.
