This beautiful, incredible town is famous for one more thing: the Bicheno blowhole. If you didn’t know, Tasmania is made mostly of a rock called dolerite that is native to Australia. However, Bicheno is made of granite.The thrashing ocean waves have carved out the granite to give birth to this amazing blowhole. This playful geological formation is indeed a sight not to miss.

Salamanca Market

The popular Salamanca Market is one of Tasmania's most looked-up tourist attractions in Tasmania. It is also claimed to be one of the largest outdoor markets in Australia. This Saturday tradition brings alive Hobart's waterfront with a roaring celebration of the senses. In a captivating atmosphere of cultural commerce, over 300 stallholders take to the streets from dawn, where they sell locally crafted products including Tasmanian timber treasures, homewares, clothing and jewelry, seasonal produce, leather goods, artisan cheeses, soaps and skincare, breads, wines and spirits and more. The historic sandstone buildings make the backdrop to this event, with stunning waterfront views alongside. So, if you’re in the area, make sure to pay a visit to this iconic Market.

Montezuma Falls

Montezuma Falls, situated on Tasmania's west coast near Rosebery, is Tasmania's highest waterfall. The track to the waterfalls begins at Williamsford. This easy, three-hour walk along takes you to the base of this picturesque waterfall through the pleasant leatherwood rainforest, giant tree ferns, myrtle and sassafras. You may even spot some native wildlife along the way, including a wide variety of species of birds. The trail to the base of Montezuma Falls features the historic route of the North East Dundas Tramway. The creek just below the falls once had a wooden trestle bridge. Today dilapidated pieces of timber, moss-covered piers and rusty bolts are the remnants of this bridge.

Tasmanian Arboretum

The Tasmanian Arboretum is a botanic garden located just 12 kilometers South of Devonport. The garden features a collection of trees and a beautiful landscape. The park is perched on the natural heritage of the Eugenana limestone beds, which represent the colonial and early industrial ventures. From spring flowers to splendid autumn colours and winter patterns, the garden is a great place to enjoy the beautiful collection of cold climate woody plants.

Tasmania’s beautiful landscape is something that would make you believe in the idea of heaven on earth! We hope you have the best time in the state.
