Itinerary: day by day

Day 1: Hobart to Bicheno

We travel north along the historic Midland Highway, passing numerous colonial inns and quaint villages including Bagdad, Oatlands and Campbelltown. We make a stop in Ross, where you’ll see Australia’s oldest convict built bridge and have the opportunity to purchase breakfast (own expense).

After joining other travellers in Launceston, we stop at St Columbus Falls, with its ancient rainforest back drop is our first stop today. Continuing through the changing landscape of heritage farms, rainforest and mining towns we spend the afternoon at the breathtaking Bay of Fires. Here you can take a stroll along the gleaming white sands or a swim in the clear turquoise water (weather permitting). Tonight we stay at in the seaside township of Bicheno.
