Off the Beaten Track in Tasmania

Here you can read about our family adventures off the beaten track into the most amazing places in Tasmania. We hope to inspire you. If we can drive, ride or walk into these places - then so can you!

We have visited the Cradle Mountain - Lake St Clair National Park, Mount William National Park and tackled the Three Capes Walk, Overland Track and Frenchans Cap to just name a few. Of course, we also share with you many of lesser-known natural wonders of North East Tasmania, too.

Halls Falls Tasmania

The weir on the Groom River above Halls Falls

On a quiet Autumn day in April we packed our lunch and headed for Halls Falls. This a perfect short drive from Tin Dragon Cottages when you need a few hours of forest bathing! It’s a beautiful drive, too.

Meadstone Falls

Meadstone Falls

After unusually good rainfall this summer, we decided to revisit Meadstone Falls. The deep upstream rock pools make this an inviting destination on a hot summer’s day!

Cradle Mountain Short Walks (Part 2)

September 27, 2020 by Christine

Graham is standing on the Pencil Pine track . This section goes across an open plain of mossy ferns and is covered by snow.

This is our account of walking the Pencil Pine Track. It is not a track for the feint-hearted or those scared of heights and rocks…

Cradle Mountain Short Walks (Part 1)

Graham walking along a boardwalk at Ronnys Creek, Cradle Mountain

We enjoyed our getaway to Freycinet so much, that we got away again! This time we took advantage of Tasmania’s border restrictions and the RACT member’s 30% discount at Cradle Mountain Hotel. Our 1st walk was the Crater Lake circuit.
