Tasmania takes on a special air in Autumn and Winter. Crisp, cool mornings give way to sparkling sunny days in Autumn, where the surface of the Gordon River looks like glass, the craggy face of Cradle Mountain beckons to be walked and the turquoise waters of Freycinet are still mild enough to dip your toes in. A range of festivals and events bring the Hobart waterfront alive, and market stalls are groaning with local produce and the works of talented local artisans.

In Winter, there is time for reflection and relaxation, as well as embracing the elements and getting out to have some fun! Lucky visitors can strike snow on the mountains one day and sun on the beaches the next. The moody atmosphere of the World Heritage Area is further enhanced by the changing seasons, which can all be viewed in comfort from the Lady Jane Franklin II on the Gordon River.
