Tasmania has the kind of scenery that I never thought I could see in Australia. I travelled from Hobart to Freycinet over the winter break, and was greeted with a stunning array of landscapes. From the rocky waters and jagged cliffs of Coles Bay to the serenity of Freycinet National Park, I spent almost my entire trip with my jaw agape at Tasmania’s sprawling, natural beauty.

Coles Bay by sea. It’s hard to spot, but in the centre of the photo you can see an anchor in the cliff face left by rock climbers.
