Arrive at Burnie Airport and you are in the centre of the most picturesque cool climate region in Australia, an hour’s drive to Cradle Mountain, the Tarkine and Stanley and not much further to the rugged West Coast and scenic Strahan.

Experience a thriving garden of eden growing everything from truffles, wasabi, walnuts, essential oils, poppies, exotic fruits, internationally-acclaimed meat and seafood and the majority of Australia’s vegetables, together with award-winning cheese, wine, whisky and vodka. Or in season marvel at a million tulips or the nation’s leading rhododendron garden.

Information is available at the nearby Wynyard Visitor Information Centre.
