Strahan Village on the west coast of Tasmania is one of the world’s last great temperate wilderness regions. The great Gordon River flows through Strahan's ancient World Heritage listed rainforests and Strahan's quartzite peaks pierce the sky. High on the Central Highlands of Cradle Mountain are the sculptured landscapes of Ice Age glaciations and Cradle Mountain walking tracks that ascend through alpine gardens to craggy summits. Cradle Mountain Chateau provides luxury accommodation in complete contrast to the wild environment. Freycinet, on the east side of Tasmania, is a paradise of sunny white beaches, coastal forests teeming with wildlife and the soft forms of pink granite mountains rising from the sea.
