Discover Tasmania
Roll off Spirit of Tasmania in Devonport with the caravan behind you and an entire island ahead. The beauty is deciding which way to point the rig first.

West Coast wilderness and historic heartland
Head west along Tasmania’s North West Coast towards Stanley, where the distinctive Nut rises above the seaside town. Then turn inland as the landscape becomes wilder towards the west coast and the rugged Tarkine wilderness.
Continue south to Strahan, where rainforest and harbour meet, before pointing the caravan east towards the lakes and mountains of the Central Highlands. Follow the road through Bothwell towards Hobart, then take the slower route north through Tasmania’s historic heartland. Stop at Oatlands and Ross, where heritage streetscapes offer plenty of reasons to park the van and wander.

East Coast beaches and northern detours
The scenery changes again as you head towards the east coast and the beaches and bays around Bicheno, St Marys and St Helens. Or turn inland and explore smaller country towns, local producers and those unexpected roadside discoveries that make a trip memorable.
There’s no need to hurry back to Devonport. Detour through the Tamar Valley, explore the countryside around Deloraine and Sheffield or venture towards Cradle Mountain.
