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.

The tulips from Tasmania's north west coast are so good that the bulbs are exported all the way back to Holland! Come and see the tulips in full bloom in Wynyard in October when the rows and rows of spectacular tulips adorn Table Cape.

This high tech gem hearkens to the past. Its architecture is reminiscent of some of the Spanish-style buildings in the area, and inside it features a museum dedicated to the silent film star known as "America's Sweetheart".
