Wineglass Bay from Mt Amos

In terms of classic Tasmanian views, Wineglass Bay from Mt Amos really is one of the big ones. At 60-90 minutes one way it is a reasonably short hike, but the slippery and rocky route over granite boulders and gullies makes it a much more significant hike than the very easy (by comparison) walk up...Read More

Wineglass Bay Beach

The hike to the lookout over Wineglass Bay is one of the most popular in Tasmania, but only a few make it all the way down to Wineglass Bay beach. The track to the lookout is very well maintained and easy to walk, and the views are great. In recent years the National Parks &...Read More

Bluestone Bay

I had a night at Bluestone Bay recently that turned out remarkable in that the sunset and the sunrise basically produced the exact same photos! Don’t believe me?

More significantly, experiencing the pre-dawn silence and watching...Read More

It is also the easiest way to get a glimpse of Wineglass Bay – seen in the image below as the sandy beach right in the middle, between...Read More

This cruise is a half day journey with Duncan, the skipper, and Rastas, the “first mate”.
