Tasmania's East Coast Escape

Posted On: 9 November, 2006 - 21:49 by Phil

There are a variety of attractions that draw locals and tourists to escape for the seaside life. From swimming the pristine beaches, walking the rainforests covered mountain ranges, rafting the deep gorges, to fishing the spectacular headlands - there is something for everyone!

There is countless historical artifacts to be viewed and stories to be told from the initial aboriginal tribes, invasion of the whaling settlements to the gloomy past of Mariah Island's convict penial settlement days. Just open your imagination and step back through time...or relax on a beach!

The East coast is also home to the famous Freycinet National Park which boasts the world renown Wineglass Bay, and the mysteries of Schouten Island. Visit the Lisdillon Salt Works, Spikey Bridge or Kate's Berry Farm to make the most of your short time.

Write your own post about your own facinating experience @ Cradle Mountain - the stories to be told are enough will draw the most ellusive tourist!
