Cradle Mountain, at the northern end of the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, safeguards part of the Tasmanian World Heritage Wilderness Area. The surrounding landscape is diverse and includes grassland, rainforest and ancient plants. The park also provides a rich habitat for wildlife including Tasmanian devils, quolls, platypus, echidna and several bird species. Embark on the Dove Lake Circuit track that hugs the lake shoreline for a pleasant, relatively flat six-kilometre walk beneath the towering spires of Cradle Mountain.

There’s good reason some consider this park the ‘Serengeti of Tasmania’. It’s quietly one of the best places to see wildlife. Come at dusk and Forester kangaroos perform — grazing and bounding across long open plains.

The Thousand Islands are a group of over a hundred small islands off Jakarta’s coast. They offer clear waters, coral reefs, and plenty of opportunities for snorkelling and diving. Some islands are quiet and sandy, like Pulau Macan, while others, such as Pulau Onrust, have colonial-era ruins to explore. Visitors can hop between islands, paddle in calm lagoons, or just relax on the beaches.

Take the day tour of the house and surrounding gardens, or the spooky evening tour.
