Ticking Cradle Mountain off your bucket list will come with a serious sense of achievement. Get back to nature and channel your inner explorer with a trek that will have your calf muscles screaming but your soul singing. Your itinerary will depend on how much you like the great outdoors and can vary from short ranger-led walks to day and overnight walks, all the way through to the ultra-tough 65km Overland Track walk, which will take about six days to complete.

Chances are you’re going to splurge on the unique crafts sold at Salamanca Markets every Saturday. The stalls are bursting with local bric-a-brac as well as all of the best gourmet fare Hobart has to offer. You’ll want to take some time to stroll around the local area and marvel at the 19th-century sandstone buildings. Entry is free, but bring cash for the impulse buying and snacking you’ll be doing.

Test your constitution with an eerie night-time tour of the World Heritage Port Arthur History Site. Tours run for about an hour and a half every day of the year except for Christmas and are packed with accounts of paranormal activities and unsettling stories about this famously haunted area.

Freycinet National Park has it all. The dramatic peaks of the granite mountains descend into white sand beaches and azure bays, the most famous of those being Wineglass Bay, a regular feature on several “World’s Best Beaches” lists. The park can be explored by road or foot, with various scenic drives possible, as well as short or long hikes, including the three days Freycinet Peninsula Circuit. Camping is popular; so popular in fact that it operates on a ballot system during summer. The park is situated on Tasmania’s east coast, about 2½ to 3 hours’ drive from either Hobart or Launceston, with the main entrance located just after the township of Coles Bay.
