Take the opportunity to view the site from aboard a cruise boat on the harbour, then unwind on the return to Hobart via Richmond.

return to their rookeries each night upon dark.
Overnight: Bicheno
Day 3: Soak up the coastal scenery along one of Australia's greatest journey's from Bicheno to St Helens. Stretch your legs and revitalise your senses with a peaceful beachwalk at the Bay of Fires. Visit the rainforests and waterfall at St Columba Falls, before heading into the pretty colourful city of Launceston.

Take a stroll around Dove Lake, or head off to test your lungs with a hike to Marion's Lookout or on one of the many other great walks. Overnight: Cradle Mountain (breakfast)
Day 5: Head from the mountains to the coast. Climb Henty Sand Dunes and stroll along the endless stretch of Ocean Beach with nothing but the wild "Roaring Forties" between you and South America. Overnight: Strahan (breakfast)
Day 6: Head south and inland today with a short walk to Nelson Falls, and take a drink from the famous Franklin River, where you'll learn about the beginning of the Greens Party.
