Hobart to Cradle Mountain

Five Perfect Days in Tasmania

Hobart, Bruny Island, the Central Highlands and Cradle Mountain — with time between each to notice where you are.

Five days

A dark timber Tasmanian wilderness lodge beside a still alpine lake at dusk.

Chapter 01

Days One & Two — Hobart

Battery Point in the morning, MONA on a Wednesday, and dinner somewhere small in Salamanca. Take the ferry, not the taxi.

Chapter 02

Day Three — Bruny Island

The car ferry from Kettering, oysters at the source, and the walk across the neck.

Chapter 03

Day Four — Central Highlands

The drive north through trout country. A lodge whose name we will not print. Fire, dinner, silence.

Chapter 04

Day Five — Cradle Mountain

Dove Lake at first light, before the day-trippers arrive. Fly out from Devonport in the afternoon.
