Check out this perfect 2-week self drive Tasmania road trip itinerary to help you plan your epic adventure around Australia’s most beautiful state!
Tasmania, that bit of Australia that everyone knows exists but few seem to visit.
I first visited Australia in 2008 and sadly did not make it to Tasmania. Since then it’s been a place that has been on my bucket list.
In January 2018 my wife and I finally made it down that far south to check out all the best places to visit in Tasmania.
This stunning island may just be Australia’s best-kept secret. Although I cannot imagine it staying that way for long.

The scenery is simply breathtaking. Of all the places I have been in Australia, this may just be my favourite state.
