Tasmania is an island located south of Australia. In the space of three days, the Tasman crew and I ventured through the island's most interesting spots while experiencing landscapes that I had only seen before in movies and wild fauna like I had never experienced before.
From Hobart to Launceston, Tasmania gave us the opportunity to commune with nature, I mean, it even deprived us of our cell phones so we had a better appreciation of what was around us.
Heaps of wild wallabies, equidnas, wombats and many species of birds were surrounding us at all times. They were sharing with us this adventure and actually welcomed us really well into their homes amongst nature.
I loved the alpine hikes that you can find in Tasmania, especially Cradle Mountain which I found a little bit challenging, but beautiful. If you are planning to go there, I recommend you bring some good warm clothes and also some beer for the way, I assure you it will stay cold at all times xP

Mt Ironstone, Great Western Tiers. Tasmania
Mount Ironstone is one of the highest points on the Great Western Tiers on Tasmania's Central Plateau. The walk crosses alpine moorland and boulderfields past small tarns and pencil pine forests. In this movie Isaac (7 at the time) climbs to Lake Ironstone where we camped, visiting Whiteleys hut on the way. On the way out we climb Mt Ironstone.

Hiking Cradle Mt Tasmania
This is our attempt at hiking Cradle Mt in Tasmania. Unfortunately the weather was not our best friend on the day, it was up and down with hail and wind but we made the best of it. Did a couple short walks around the area as well as the actual hike itself up to Wombat's Pool and Peak. Not an ordinary guide to Tasmania or Cradle Mt with this type of scenery. Typical Australian weather, we get back down from the hike and it was all blue skies with Cradle Mt being super visible. This is our first day of the Tasmania Adventure we had this year. Rain, hail or shine, Tasmania remains to be as beautiful as ever.

Beginner's guide to the Cradle Mountain's hiking trails in Tasmania
This video will help those who want to hike in the Cradle Mountain National Park in Tasmania and are wondering which hiking trails are worth it and will match their abilities. Regardless of which one you choose, you can't go wrong because the scenery of Cradle Mountain is so beautiful. It is the jewel of Tasmania.
We started with the Overland Track and passed Crater Lake on our way up to Marions Lookout, which offers some of the most beautiful views of Crade Mountain. We then passed Wombat Pool on our way down to Dove Lake. Dove Lake offers the easiest hiking trails of the Cradle Mountain National Park but still offer great views and great picture taking opportunities.

Mystery of Tasmania Island - HD Documentary 2017 #Advexon
Tasmania, formerly Van Diemen’s Land, island state of Australia. It lies about 150 miles (240 km) south of the state of Victoria, from which it is separated by the relatively shallow Bass Strait. Structurally, Tasmania constitutes a southern extension of the Great Dividing Range. The state comprises a main island called Tasmania; Bruny Island, nestling close to the southeastern coast of the main island; King and Flinders islands in Bass Strait; numerous smaller islands off the coast of the main island; and subantarctic Macquarie Island, about 900 miles (1,450 km) to the southeast. The main island is roughly heart-shaped, with a maximum length and width of about 200 miles (320 km), and its latitude and climate are broadly comparable to those of northern California and northwestern Spain. With an area slightly larger than that of Sri Lanka, Tasmania is the smallest of Australia’s states. Hobart is the state capital.
The state owes its name to the Dutch navigator-explorer Abel Janszoon Tasman, who in 1642 became the first European to discover the island. Until 1856, however, the island was known as Van Diemen’s Land, named for Anthony van Diemen, the governor of the Dutch East Indies who had sent Tasman on his voyage of exploration. The island of Tasmania contains some of the most spectacular mountain, lake, and coastal scenery in the country, and much of its land is protected in national parks and reserves. The state also produces a major portion of Australia’s hydroelectric power and possesses a great diversity of natural resources. Nevertheless, Tasmania has remained among the poorest of Australia’s states, with a steadily decreasing share of the country’s population. Although insularity renders much of its political, economic, and social life distinctive, proximity to Melbourne and air travel make Tasmania less isolated and more cosmopolitan than is often assumed in other Australian states. Area 26,410 square miles (68,401 square km). Population (2011) 495,354.
Soils
Most Tasmanian soils are leached, acidic, poorly drained, high in humus, and low in fertility. Least fertile and most extensive are the soils of the west and northeast, especially the moor peats. Fertile areas occur extensively in the northwest and locally elsewhere, notably in the northeast and southeast. Brown earths occupy the drier areas east of the Central Plateau; black earths, the southeast; and alluvial soils, the narrow valley floors to the east. Other fertile soils are those of former swamps in the far northwest and the Bass Strait islands.

Tasmania, located in the midlatitude westerly wind belt and dominated by southern maritime air masses, generally enjoys a moist, equable climate, with mild to warm summers, mild winters in most settled areas, and rain during all seasons. However, the southwest has much rugged weather, and the southeast can suffer drought. Collision between tropical air masses—in summer from the continent and in spring and autumn from the eastern Tasmanian coast—and the mountainous surface results in greater climatic variety than in other parts of Australia. Annual precipitation, seasonal moisture deficiencies, and temperatures range widely and irregularly across the state. Average annual precipitation exceeds 100 inches (2,500 mm) on the western ranges and declines eastward to less than 20 inches (510 mm) in some places; along the north coast it exceeds 30 inches (760 mm) in all locations. The seasonal incidence in the north and west is greatest in winter, and in the south and east it is greatest in spring. Summer rainfall may vary markedly from year to year, especially in the drier east. Mean January temperatures are higher in the north and east than elsewhere, reaching 64 °F (18 °C) at Launceston; mean July temperatures are 46 to 49 °F (8 tο 9 °C) in all coastal stations, declining sharply with elevation.

Forest Walks Lodge Bed & Breakfast
Forest Walks Lodge Bed & Breakfast, is a small intimate guesthouse located in northern Tasmania. It was built by husband and wife team Sean Cadman and Rosemary Norwood, whose passion is to share Tasmania’s wonderful food, forests and wildlife with guests and visitors. This accommodation near Deloraine is surrounded by mountains, birds and wildlife. Each bedroom offers a palette of ever changing skies and mountain views. Sean, our chef, produces amazing meals with local fresh Tasmanian produce. This Tasmanian retreat is the equivalent of a Japanese Ryokan or French Pensionne.
Your hosts arrived in the valley in 1980 and immediately fell in love with the tall forests and open grasslands. Very quickly they became caught up in a campaign to protect the significant old growth forests of this unique area. The 1980’s and 90’s were a heated period in Tasmania’s conservation history due to the competing interests of clear fell forestry and conservation. After multiple environmental surveys our valley and the surrounding mountains of the Great Western Tiers have been protected as part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. We are proud of this achievement. These days we enjoy sharing this special place and our stories with our guests.

Tasmania Top 10 things to do & see
These are the absolute highlights for a visit to Tasmania, Australia. The island of Tasmania is located 250 km south of the mainland of Australia and can be reached by boat or airplane. It is named after the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman. The island has a population of about 500.000 and the capital is Hobart.
1. Cradle Mountain - surrounded by glacial lakes, ancient rainforest, and unusual alpine vegetation. From here you can start the Overland Track.
2. Bay of Fires - Fabulously coloured stones in this Bay, but the name of the bay comes from the many fires of Tasmanian Aboriginals that were seen by Thomas Furneaux in 1773.
3. Maria Island - The island is shaped like a number eight and is completely protected as a national park. You can enjoy the fossilated cliffs and the painted cliffs at low tide
4. Wineglass Bay - Freycinet National park harvests the perfectly curved Wineglass Bay
5. Launceston - The largest single span chairlift over the fabulous Cataract Gorge
6. South West National Park - Tasmania's largest national park harvests wild rivers and rugged mountains. It is very desolate, so bring all your supplies with you.
7. Port Arthur Historic Site - Marvel at the spooky ruins and restored homes where many convicts were being punished from the prison's establishment in1830 until its closure in 1877
8. Remarkable Cave - This cave is really remarkable. At low tide you can walk through the cave, but at high tide you have to avoid the big waves
9. Penguin - watching penguins come ashore on the north coast of Tasmania
10. Hobart - Panoramic views from Mount Wellington to Bruny Island, South Arm and the Tasman Peninsula

Solo hike in Tasmania, 19 days in the Tarkine
A 19 days adventure, a mixe between packraft and hike. Probably the best way to explore the Tarkine.
Although not designated as a national park, the area contains a wildly diverse landscape - including Australia's largest patch of temperate rainforest - and a world of natural treasures including mountain ranges, wild river and cave systems, buttongrass moorlands, and a rugged coastline with long sandy beaches, grassy woodland and coastal heath.
Personally, the tarkine deserve to be protected, it's a extraordinary place.
