#2月好地方2025 Its beauty is not just the blue sky, soft white clouds, fresh air, and clear blue coast, the most beautiful thing is the slow and leisurely life. The capital city of Hobart has a small population. The entire city center is centered around the waterfront wharf area, which is the main tourist destination. There are restaurants serving delicious and authentic seafood, small stalls, and tour boats. The city center is not large and most attractions can be reached on foot, including Liverpool Street shopping district, St David Cathedral, Salamamca Place, Tasmania Museum n Art Gallery, etc. There are different murals and sculptures throughout the city, thanks to the University of Tasmania encouraging students to create designs. Diversified art is distributed in different places in the city. Some designs are very unique, making the eyes travel with every step.

Strahan Village is located on the far west coast of tasmania island, roughly about a 4 hour drive from the main town of hobart. Strahan Village is an old town that has many rustic costages and little home where its beautifully bulit up that looks like the olden times of wild wild west. Tourists do come here for the river cruises of Gordon River and the popular Macquarie Harblur Historic Site where this is a historic site and remains of the 19th century leftover settlements. We headed for the Gordon River Cruises due to the many reviews by friends and Google on the beautiful and breathtaking experience that this cruise provide, slowly curising over the water, while absorbing the sound of nature around you. #bucketlistreboot #tasmania #australia #cruises #historic #historicalsites #historicallandmarks #historicplaces #strahanvillage #rivercruises

#australiatrip of adventure and tranquility, offering something for everyone. Its rugged wilderness includes the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers and Freycinet National Park, ideal for hiking, kayaking, and spotting rare wildlife like wombats and platypuses. The island is famous for its fresh produce, with farm-to-table dining experiences, award-winning cheeses, and cool-climate wines in regions like the Tamar Valley. History comes alive in Richmond and Ross, with charming colonial villages, while Bruny Island offers breathtaking views and gourmet delights. The unspoiled coastline is perfect for whale watching, while the alpine scenery of Mount Field National Park is equally captivating.

#australiatrip Fantastic tour of the Gordan River with their custom built vessel designed to have minimal impact on the environment (captain informed us when you switched over to the electric motors. In order for minimal impact along the national park banks ) Awesome view of the rainforest at heritage landing and Sarah island. We had a really great tour of Sarah Island. Our tour guide (Sarah!) was really knowledgeable and friendly and added nice humour within her presentation which is really engaging for everyone.
