If you like raw nature, completely deserted beaches, and a great beer, wine, and food scene, Tasmania is the place! After a brutal 7am flight, we arrived with our usually truck worth of baggage and quickly stopped at our Airbnb in Hobart.
Day 14: Our host thought we had an unreasonably busy itinerary… just the way I like it (not sure when the next time I will be in Tasmania will be).We immediately headed down the coast stopping at the Eaglehawk lookout and devils kitchen before arriving at Port Arthur, a historical prison site. On our way home, we saw the most spectacular beach with the tide pulled back exposing small sandbars with crabs, snails, and small fish in each one. I took off my jeans and walked about 800m out into the sandbars to take in the experience.
Day 15: The second day in Tasmania was all about Bruny Island, a small rugged island, off an island, of an island. We explored miles or completely uninhabited and untouched beaches, took in some scenic view points, and did the Fluted Cape Track walk (2.5 hours up a cliff along the coast. On the way back, we stopped for some beer and cheese (along with everyone else on the island) at the Bruny island cheese company.
