Immerse yourself in one of the most beautiful and remote places in the world.
Take a journey just outside of your comfort zone - be open to new experiences, go slow, stop often.
Here's a small sample of what your West Coast experience could be - but we recommend building your own adventure, using our Plan a Trip function to create your own itinerary.

Don't be fooled by the fact we're surround by temperate rainforests. Yes it rains on the West Coast, but our summers are consistently 20 to 25 degrees.
We have stunningly warm days that are perfect for walks along the beach, lake swims, mountain walks and BBQs.
Bring your hat and sunscreen. But also bring a raincoat. Just in case.
Day one
Depart the North West of Tasmania via the A1 to Burnie and then south on the B18.
You'll know when you've hit the West Coast....beyond the range of mobile signal.
Day two
Wake up to the sounds of birds and train whistles.
This afternoon you'll drive approximately 40 minutes to spend the night in Strahan.
Take note - this section of road has corners.
Day three
Your last day West of Centre.
This afternoon you'll drive to Zeehan before grabbing a coffee for the road in Tullah and catching a last glimpse of those lake reflections.
It's farewell, not goodbye. You'll spend the drive back to the world already planning your next visit.
Winter is the perfect time to experience the area.
Wander through the pristine wilderness (with sturdy boots), smell the fresh air and listen to the sound of waterfalls.
Or head indoors and immerse yourself in our museums and galleries, warming up in our cafes and restaurants whilst enjoying snow-capped mountain views.
Amongst all this wild, you’ll still find a sense of calm.
Day one
Depart the North West of Tasmania via the A1 to Burnie, or via Cradle Mountain Link Road C132, and then south on the B18.

West Coast roads are not for the faint hearted - especially in winter. Days are shorter and roads are subject to snow and ice - the kind you can't easily see.
It's recommended you drive during daylight hours only and check road and weather updates regularly.
