Tasmania: live well on this heart-shaped island in Australia

 18 Feb 2019

Sit on the sky-blue rocking chair and steal a bite of the sunset.

How wonderful is nature? Kangaroo Australia may be unknown, but people often automatically ignore the natural heart-shaped island beneath, like a heart on earth.

That's the only island state in Australia-Tasmania.

Visitors to Australia flocked to Oceania Road, Sydney and Gold Coast. In contrast, not many people visit Tasmania in depth. Introduction can not find much, all rely on the map to guide the way, where to play.

Apart from Australia's mainland, Tata has been track back to the Ice Age for more than a thousand years, and Europeans have discovered the natural heart-shaped island for just three or four hundred years. Mountains and lakes already have their natural laws, and humans are reckless visitors.

It took us a week to slowly circle the island, where the scenery stopped and the scenery was clear and beautiful along the way. Occasionally, the wrong way could pass through the rolling pastures, and the sparkling sea appeared in front of the windshield.


With mountains and lakes

If you travel clockwise on Tata Island, you may have three or four hundred kilometers away from the village, no gas station, no shops and no accommodation in the previous few days.

After all, less than five hundred thousand of the island's population, 40% of the island's area is national parks, natural heritage and protected areas.

Driving in the shade of trees, the sound of waterfalls and streams came from afar, though there was only one road, but in a trance, I didn't know where I was driving.

In this way, you have to drive with extra care.

In addition to fatigue driving and lack of supplies, animals such as kangaroos can be seen on either side of the road at night, and small shadows under the lights flash past the front wheel and disappear into the bushes. That was the representative of the island: the Tasmanian devil, also known as the Tasmanian devil, because he called it sharp.

The island is a great wilderness, surrounded by lakes and pristine forests. Walking in the woods, picnics by the lake, walking the path of few people.

Into the ice age of thousands of years ago

From the distant ice age, the name comes from the cradle of gold mining. There are many hiking routes for tourists, ranging from a few hours to a few days. Heaven and earth, even if this is the most "scenic spot" of Tashima, to the depth of the forest, but also empty back and forth.

In addition, the place is known for a 65-kilometer treadmill, open to seasonal restrictions and early registrations are required, and many hikers are here to make a pilgrimage. By the side of the trail you might see a big piece of tower island: the koala, and their square poop.

From rainforest to foothills to ferruginous lakes. A road can have many kinds of scenery.


Stroll on the unattended beach at midday

The charisma of the Bay of Fire lies not only in the natural red moss-covered rocks, but also in the beach scenery on the east coast of the island. The weather was fine on that day and the sea was blue and clear in the hot sun. The former can be called a natural wonder, the latter is a clean alien source.

Find a place to park on the map, pull through the bushes and flip-flops straight to the beach, the flour-thin white beach stretches for several kilometers, can be directly into the water to play, no one else can be seen.

Every time I see such a beautiful scene, I love the world.


Taste fine wine and gourmet food

Australia is a famous wine producer. Soil, weather and temperature and humidity are directly reflected in the quality of the wine, so the location of the winery is beautiful and pleasant. In Tasmania, many wineries in Tarmar Valley, are open to visit vineyards and wineries, and enjoy wine tasting in restaurants.

However, it is just a winery, and it is as beautiful as oil painting. Wild ducks swim in the lake, overlooking the shade, the lake, and the neatly covered vineyards.

Sensitive roses can sense plant symptoms earlier than grapes, so most wineries also have a few rose beds. Cross the flower stand and rest under the gazebo by the lake.

In addition to selling their own fine wine. Many restaurants bring their own awards, a variety of certificate medals put on a wall. Sit down at the floor window and pour a few different wines, half a dozen oysters, fresh and even a touch of sweetness. Then on the main course, bubbles of sparkling wine danced in the glass, sparkling golden light.

This winery is called Josef Chromy,. It's a local place.


The Art atmosphere of Contemporary Art Gallery

The sparsely populated Tasmania seems to play in native style, but this is not the case, because there is also one of Australia's top contemporary art galleries: MONA.. Founded by, gambling game-born gambling king David Walsh Tashima.

Built underground, the museum has no natural light and bare sandstone walls like huge monuments. Photo filmed it as an advanced black gold match. Use space, sound, light and sound to create immersive avant-garde works.

The island is also home to well-designed high-end hotels, one adjacent to the museum, and several hidden in uninhabited mountains and lakes.


Live a slow life in a vacation house

Around the island, from the pristine forests of the west coast to the sandy beaches of the small town of the idle east coast, without strategy, according to the map, we met interesting towns and stopped for an hour or two and wandered away at will.

Four people drive themselves and rent a holiday home in airbnb or in a small town.

Holiday house is a beautiful existence, two-bedroom, with kitchen, on the island without nightlife, go out for a walk to buy ingredients, and come back to cook their own food. At home, with the exception of lying in a rocking chair at the windowsill, there is a breeze blowing and a star watching.

Even more tiger is driving a RV (with a small yacht hanging on the roof), encountered a lot along the way. Everything in the car, spread out a double bed, even a mini-refrigerator and folding fishing chair, when the good scenery stopped, facing the sea, spring blossoms.

Sound of silence, listening to the sound of mountains and seas.

Mount Wellington, on the outskirts of Hobart, the state capital


Compared to the existence of hundreds of millions of years of Earth, mountains, lakes and oceans experienced long years. Street classical architecture, distant gold age, not very rich entertainment, human in time and space, are as small as ants.

There is no need to guide, in nature when lost leisurely, the usual bit of trouble becomes insignificant.

Tasmania has flights to and from Melbourne. It is important to note that no fruit, honey, or other biological products can be brought in to protect the island species. There is very little public transport on the island, so it is recommended to rent a car to drive itself.


Self-driving instruction

1. Australia to the left, the vehicle is the right rudder.

2. Chinese tourists can rent and drive directly in Australia with a driver's license and translation, with most rental companies requiring drivers and paying credit card holders to be the same person. It is recommended to study third-party platforms, such as rental cars, but need to study the terms and conditions.

3. Tasmania Mountain Road, strongly recommended to rent a medium-large suv (we rent Mitsubishi Padero), and pay attention to petrol and food supplies.

Refueling all for the self-service gun, add oil in the convenience store reported to the number of payment of the pump.


stay

In addition to the capital Hobart, Tasmanian restaurants have very limited options, and suggest booking a kitchen for apartment (apartment Hotel), shopping for your own chef, and having a wide range of options on both booking and airbnb. Because of the scarcity of people, many even self-help check-in.
