Day by day

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Welcome to Hobart

    Hobart might be small but it packs a punch. This afternoon, get your bearings on a city tour, starting with big views from the summit of Mt. Nelson. Then it’s on to Battery Point for pretty Georgian cottages, plus Salamanca Place where convict-built warehouses set the scene for those famous Saturday markets. Watch the boats bob at Constitution Dock, the finishing line for the Sydney to Hobart race, then stretch your legs in Australia’s second oldest Botanical Gardens with plants from all over the world. Tonight, meet up with your Travel Director for dinner.

  2. 2

    Hobart - Strahan

    Today is Tasmania turned up loud. Head into Mount Field National Park, part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, where the trees are seriously tall and the air feels extra fresh. Wander through towering eucalypts to Russell Falls and take that first proper deep breath of the wild. Next, roll on to Lake St. Clair, Australia’s deepest freshwater lake and a spot that loves breaking records. By late day, you’ll reach Strahan, your gateway to the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park where the wilderness really calls the shots.

  3. 3

    Strahan - Cradle Mountain

    All aboard for one of Tasmania’s moodiest, most beautiful waterways. The Gordon River runs dark with amber tannins from buttongrass, creating mirror-still reflections as you cruise out to Sarah Island. It’s a jaw-drop setting with a tough past, once a penal colony where convicts cut Huon pine for boats. At Heritage Landing, see a Huon pine that has stood proud for around 2,000 years. Then there’s Hells Gates, the famously tricky harbour entrance. After a big day, head north to Cradle Mountain, ready for a cosy fire and maybe a glass of wine.

  4. 4

    Cradle Mountain - Burnie

    Wake up to fresh air and a proper wilderness backdrop. Cradle Mountain rises to 1,545 m (5,069 ft) and you’ll have it in view as you explore around Dove Lake, with alpine moorlands that feel wonderfully untouched. Keep your eyes open, this is Tasmanian Devil territory. Next comes a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience at Devils @ Cradle. On a Day Keeper tour, you’ll learn how the sanctuary operates and how it protects this threatened species. Then it’s farewell to the Central Highlands as you head for the north-west coast and your overnight stay.

  5. 5

    Burnie - Launceston

    Camera ready. Table Cape is Wynyard’s showstopper, a 180 m (590 ft) high clifftop and the remains of a 12-million-year-old volcano. Drive to the lookout for coastal views that stretch for miles on a clear day. Then cruise through a town called Penguin, yes really, where penguin statues pop up everywhere, including one over 3 m (10 ft) tall. Continue via Ulverstone and Sheffield, the Town of Murals, with more than 100 large paintings celebrating local stories. Feeling peckish? Refuel at Ashgrove Tasmanian Farm with award-winning cheeses or perhaps treat yourself to locally made ice cream.

  6. 6

    Farewell Launceston

    Launceston does nature on fast forward. One minute you’re in town, the next you’re staring into Cataract Gorge, a dramatic chasm carved by ancient rivers. It’s a rare mix of rugged bushland and tidy Victorian gardens, packed with ferns and exotic plants. Consider a Choice Experience, hop on the chairlift and glide across the water to a lofty lookout. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to linger. Or visit Beaconsfield Mine or Seahorse World. Your day, your way.

Travel at 60 Social Getaways

Travel further when you're not travelling alone

Our Social Getaways are small-group holidays designed especially for over-60s Australians who want the freedom of a great trip without the work of planning every detail. A Travel at 60 host travels with the group, the operator handles the logistics, and you get to focus on the bit that matters — the people, the places, and the stories you'll bring home.

Open to solo travellers too. Many of our travellers book on their own and find their feet quickly in a friendly group of like-minded Australians. Reduced single-supplement options are available on most departures — ask one of our consultants and we'll talk you through what's offered on this trip.

  • A friendly Travel at 60 host — an Australian face on the ground, looking out for the group from day one.
  • Curated local guides & boutique suppliers — the same operators we'd book for our own families.
  • Real itineraries, not whirlwind tours — comfortable transfers, breathing room, and the “off the beaten track” stops the big bus tours skip.

Want to talk it through? Call 1300 414 198 7 days a week, Queensland time, and one of our consultants will walk you through it.
