Salamanca Place is a row of 1830s sandstone warehouses on Hobart's waterfront, built when the city was a busy whaling port. Today they house galleries, cafes, restaurants and craft shops. The famous Salamanca Market fills the street every Saturday with hundreds of stalls selling Tasmanian produce and crafts.

Wineglass Bay is a perfect curve of white sand and clear blue water in Freycinet National Park on Tasmania's east coast. A walking track climbs to a lookout with the classic view of the bay framed by pink granite mountains called the Hazards. Hikers can continue down to the beach itself.

Cradle Mountain is the centrepiece of Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park in Tasmania's World Heritage wilderness. Its jagged peaks rise above Dove Lake, encircled by a popular 6 km walk. The park is the start of the famous Overland Track and home to wombats, pademelons and Tasmanian devils.
