North East Tasmania
Discover the natural heritage, amazing scenic beauty, colourful history and pioneering spirit of North East Tasmania. Neat rows of vines in cool-climate vineyards and fertile farm lands contrast with tall forests, spectacular waterfalls and long stretches of beautiful, unspoilt beaches. Lush dairy pastures and dense rain forest sweep up to the hills where miners scoured a fortune from the tin bearing graves – the heritage of the thousands of Chinese diggers remains today. 
In Mount William National Park, near Musselroe Bay, experience close encounters with Forester kangaroos and other Tasmanian wildlife in their natural environment. In the productive regional centre of Scottsdale, visit the astonishing Forest EcoCentre, showcasing the forest ecology, fine timbers and rich heritage of the North East. In the old mining settlements of Derby and Weldborough, explore the glory days of tin. All along the North East Trail, you’ll find a warm, friendly welcome from people who enjoy helping visitors ease into the relaxed, local lifestyle. Take your time, don’t hurry – you’ll need a few days to experience all the interest and special appeal of North East Tasmania.
