An easy, breezy self-drive trip in Tasmania


Cradle Mountain and Lake Dove, a place to immerse oneself in Mother Nature’s beauty.

Tasmania is an island state in Australia, about 240km to the south of the Australian mainland, and separated from it by the Bass Strait.

The flight from Melbourne to Launceston in Tasmania took about an hour; we arrived at around 7am, rented a car and immediately began our six-day self-drive vacation.
