Satellite Island

Satellite Island has never before been accessible to the public. It remains utterly un-spoilt. With 360° views of this southern hemisphere wilderness—a mix of beautiful native bush, ancient blue gums, sheer sea cliffs, pebble beaches and sunny coves— a secluded secret hideaway, yours alone to explore.

Here it’s about slowing life down and enjoying the simple things: a bonfire on the top of the island at sunset; a long lunch at the Boathouse on the water’s edge; cooking freshly caught fish over a fire on the pebble beach; fishing at dusk off the jetty; shucking wild oysters straight from the sea; diving for urchin, abalone and mussels; watching the sunset across the Southern Ocean at Last Glimpse Point; watching the sunrise over nearby Bruny Island; or swimming in the pristine waters surrounding the island.​

Hobart

Hobart, Tasmania’s capital, is also Australia’s second oldest city and lies in the foothills of Mount Wellington, where a hotchpotch of colonial architecture, mid-rise modern builds and nature’s charms have produced an energetic urban centre where life is never taken too seriously, and where you are only ever minutes from a wilderness in which to lose yourself – should you have enough of the spirited café culture.​

You'll feel a million miles from modern life when you glimpse the jagged dolerite peaks of Cradle Mountain across the mirrored waters of Dove Lake. It's a wilderness vision that draws travellers to World Heritage-listed Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park time and time again.

Formed by glacial forces during the last Ice Age, the park has vegetation unlike anything you'll find on Australia's mainland. Walk round silent, mirrored Dove Lake, past waterfalls and through the myrtle beech and pencil pine of the Ballroom Forest. Or lose between one to five hours on one of the other popular walks including Hanson's Peak, Twisted Lakes, Lake Rodway and Lake Lila.​​
