Mount Wellington, also known as Mount Wrekin, is located in the center of Hobart, backed by the city. The snow-covered peak reaches a height of 1,271 meters, and from the top, there are columns known as organ pipes, which are one of the best places to enjoy the famous Hobart scenery. There are also many observation platforms of different heights on the mountain, including The Pinnacle at the summit and The Springs (720 meters above sea level) halfway up the mountain. On a clear morning, standing at the top of the mountain and overlooking the scenery as the first rays of sunshine light up the city below is an unparalleled feeling. Tourist buses to the summit from the city operate in the morning and afternoon, making it very convenient.

From Bicheno, travel along the Tasman Highway and turn onto Coles Bay Road at the junction to reach Freycinet. The name Freycinet comes from the French navigator Louis de Freycinet, and the "t" at the end of the name is not pronounced.
Freycinet offers many hiking trails, and visitors can obtain a map from the visitor center. The most famous is Wineglass Bay, which has been ranked as one of the top ten most beautiful beaches in the world. Park at the base of the Wineglass Bay Track and hike up to the lookout to see the breathtaking views of the turquoise bay (1 hour round trip). Then, continue down the other side of the mountain to reach Wineglass Bay Beach (2.5 hours round trip).
During the hike, you will see the many peaks of The Hazards, which are composed of granite and pink feldspar, giving the peaks a pink color. These stunning views are unforgettable.

Located in the eastern part of the Tasman Peninsula, Port Arthur is a historic site with many beautiful natural landscapes to explore by car and on foot. The peninsula is connected to Tasmania Island by Eaglehawk Neck, and the narrow and slender strait and the ocean on either side can be viewed from the Martin Cash scenic lookout. On the other side of Eaglehawk Neck, there is a natural wonder on the beach called the "Tessellated Pavement," where rocks are shaped like tiles by the impact of the waves. Tasman Arch, Devil's Kitchen, and Blowhole are other natural attractions to enjoy on a self-drive tour of the Tasman Peninsula.
