Tasmanian Sojourn

The Local Landscape of Tasmania Discover the stunning scenery, heritage, wineries and wildlife of Tasmania. Board your motor coach and journey to picturesque Mt. Field National Park. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the rain forest and glimpse the world’s tallest hardwood trees before reaching the spectacular Russell Falls. Admire these two-tiered falls as they cascade almost 200 feet from the rocks above. Visit the historic village of Richmond, making a brief stop to explore the fine Georgian-style buildings built from native sandstone by conscripted convict labor. Next, head to Tasmania’s famous wine country, where you will enjoy a visit to a local winery for a tasting of local wines and informative commentary. After lunch at the winery, enjoy a close encounter with a Tasmanian devil at the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary. Learn from your guide about Tasmania’s carnivorous marsupial, and other wildlife such as kangaroos and koalas, before returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
