Exploring Campbell Town: From Historic Trails to Nature’s Majesty
Kickstart your adventure from Launceston, venturing through the historic Georgian townships of Evandale and Campbell Town. Pick up your lunch in Campbell Town, home to the unique Convict Brick Trail, a walkable tribute to Tasmania's convict history. Move into the breathtaking Freycinet National Park, greeted by the grandeur of The Hazards mountain range. Embark on a comfortable walk to the Cape Tourville Lighthouse, standing 126 meters above sea level, with a light visible from 28 nautical miles away. The panorama of the coastline here is something out of a picture book.
Exploring Wineglass Bay: From Lookout to Beach
Venture on a moderately uphill walk to the world-renowned Wineglass Bay Lookout. Known as one of Tasmania’s Great Short Walks, this hour-long trek rewards spectacular views of Wineglass Bay and Freycinet National Park. Interestingly, the bay’s name originates from its whaling past, when waters turned red after a hunt, resembling a glass of red wine! Opt for a return journey with the guide to Honeymoon Bay or challenge yourself with the 2.5-hour Wineglass Bay Beach hike. Finally, round off your day with a visit to the scenic Devil’s Corner Winery. If you like, try local wines and savor delicious food against a magnificent backdrop at your own expense.
