From the busy city of Devonport, home of the Bass Strait passenger and vehicle ship Spirit of Tasmania, to the rugged country towards Cradle Mountain and World Heritage Area wilderness, this is a region of interest and variety.
The Meander Valley is a creative valley - Deloraine is home to the southern hemispheres largest working craft festival. Here, artists take inspiration from the environment, shaping metals and clay into beautiful jewellery and ceramics, capturing the light in oils and watercolours.
In the historic towns of Westbury, Devonport and Latrobe, there are well-preserved reminders of earlier days. In the antique shops you can search Huon Pine or the shine of silver.
Latroba's Axemans Hall of Fame commemorates the timber industry heritage, while on the land, farms harvest the bounty of rich soils. This is a land of milk and honey - and of sweet berries and fresh vegetables, grass-fed beef and superb farm cheeses.
Inland, Mount Roland overlooks fertile pastures around Sheffield, the 'town of murals' where local artists have painted stories of the Kentish district on the old buildings. The road winds towards Cradle Mountain and the Wilderness World Heritage Area. Whether youre here for one day or for an expedition along the Overland Track youll see a wonderland of mountains, streams, forests, wildflowers and wildlife.
