Descriptive Essay On Tasmania

1157 Words5 Pages

Tasmania is a living proof that great things come in small packages (in this case, a small island). The southern-most state makes up less than 2-per cent of Australia’s land mass. However, it remains as a tourist magnet because of its picturesque forests, rich colonial history, pristine coasts, sumptuous food and delightful wine.
Hobart, the state’s capital, is known for its laid back lifestyle and cool climate. The port city is the common starting point when travelling the magnificent places of Tassie. Whether you’re visiting the state for the first or tenth time, here are the 9 must-see towns in Tasmania for a memorable holiday:
1. Bicheno
The coastal town of Bicheno is just a 3-hour drive north of Hobart. Holidaymakers and tourists frequent this quaint village because of its beaches and mild climate. You can also watch penguins as they march to shore, so make sure you always have your camera with you.
Just a short drive from the town’s centre lies East Coast Natureworld. Here you can interact with kangaroos and Tasmanian devils. The small sanctuary also has shops and cafes, so you can shop for souvenirs and stop for refreshments.
An easy walk from the town’s centre will take you to Bicheno Blowhole. When waves are strong, the blowhole can shoot up to 20 metres high.
2. Coles Bay
The easiest way to enjoy the scenery surrounding Coles Bay is to climb up Wineglass Bay Lookout. The path leading to the observation deck is easy to climb, even for children. It is often crowded

    Smooth, oval rocks lined the bank of the secretive lake. Discarded and neglected; overlaid with spongy moss and choked by fallen, decaying leaves from the unclothed and withering trees above. As the lake swelled around the ashen boulders, icy, black water lifelessly lapped against the long, thin beams of wood holding up a rickety pier. The structure was covered in splinters and ragged, iron nails, and as it reached out into the centre of the sombre lake, it became more and more distant. Half-cut beams lined the sides of the pier, as nettle patches hissed from the shore when the water drew too near.
