Mt Amos Climb

Reviewed By Peter_Clare_50

This is more than a walk as there is a lot of rock scrambling. Please make to not do if wet or there has been recent rain as it will be very sloppy in parts. Also make sure you have good hiking shoes and we also found hiking poles and gloves useful. The 3km return trip can take 4 hours but it is worth it - the views are spectacular. A great memory, a must for anyone who likes a bit of adventure.

Freycinet National Park

Reviewed By 612ashleyh - Traralgon, Australia

Freycinet National park has something for everyone. We visited with our 8-month-old baby and were still able to do a few walks in the park including the Wineglass Bay Lookout, Sleepy Bay and the lighthouse walk. The scenery is breathtaking and the different hikes available cater to all abilities. The 24hr parking park pass cost about $25 which was worth the money as the walking trails and very well maintained! Definitely visit here if travelling in the area! There are camping sites you can hire in the park as well!

Wineglass Bay

Reviewed By Krazz - Melbourne, Australia

We hiked to the lookout, then hiked down to the beach. It states 1.5 hrs return from lookout, but going down took 30-40 minutes as it is down hill. Once you get to the beach, it is absolutely beautiful. We spent some time relaxing there, you can walk along the water, spend as long as you want, even go for a swim! Toilets are located here also. You can continue to the Hazards beach or walk back up to the top. Beware, this is strenuous, 1000 steps back up. We stopped few times to rest as we are only moderately fit. But it was all worth it. Must do if you can.

Departing from Coles Bay, it's the fastest way to Wineglass Bay.Combine cruising and walking to experience Freycinet in a unique way. Scheduled sailings depart daily and are a popular way to experience the Freycinet National Park walking tracks. Whether you’re after a short walk, a long hike, or simply to spend the day on a secluded beach- we have an option for you. One way or return. If you're heading to Wineglass Bay avoid the steep track over the mountain and take the taxi. Avoid the busy summer crowd.

The Farm Shed East Coast Wine Centre

The Farm Shed East Coast Wine Centre is THE place to experience Tasmania's East Coast wines, and combines wine bar, tastings and sales with original art and design. Come in for guided tastings of wines from all East Coast region vineyards and Tasmanian whiskies and gins, as well as the ever-changing art and artisanal craft gallery.

The Farm Shed, Bicheno. Just north of Wineglass Bay (Freycinet Peninsula), the small seaside town of Bicheno is mostly known for attractions such as: the blowhole, penguins and gorgeous orange lichen- covered rocks. Popping into the post-office was when I stumbled across the town’s hidden gem: ‘The Farm Shed’. AKA the ‘East Coast Wine Centre’, The Farm Shed is an ambient wooden building that offers delicious wine, gin, beer, cider and whiskey tastings (all sourced from local/regional vineyards). In addition, this unique hub showcases a range of tastefully hand-picked Tassie art and design products. I sat down to a platter of warm olives, mixed nuts and local snacks (all complimentary). During my ‘tasting’ session that afternoon, I got to meet the fun, passionate gals behind the business. Subi and Helen really know: their products, the history of the area and also (I was chuffed to find) , have direct contact with the families and East-Coast businesses who produce the wares available. As I left with a smile on my face (and a selection of vino for my adventures), I noted the tables on either side of me were placing large orders – to be delivered to their respective and far flung homes. All in all, a brilliant set-up, delightful owners and a local business definitely worth supporting. One of my highlights of Tassie. Cheers!
