Nature


The East Cost of Tasmania covers all aspects of Tasmania's glorious natural heritage. From ancient forests to undoubtedly the world's greatest beach and everything else in between, you are assured of breathtaking views wherever you go.

To view the road as it winds its way along the East Coast checkout the GoogleEarth flythrough here.

In addition to the wonderful National Parks, Tasmania has a range of publicly accessible State Forests.

State Forest: Visitors can be in a State Forest within a half hour drive of every major centre in Tasmania. You are encouraged to explore and enjoy all aspects of Tasmania’s forests - not only the tranquil reserves but the wide range of activities, including horse-riding, driving, mountain biking and fishing. On the East Coast the Wielangta Road Forest Drive provides an alternative route between the East Coast and Tasman Peninsula. It allows visitors to drive through the Wielangta State Forest. A second walk passes the remnants of Wielangta - a once thriving sawmilling town. The Thumbs Lookout, located at the northern end of the drive, provides spectacular views of the East Coast and Maria Island
