Things To Do

Cradle Mountain

Cradle Mountain forms the northern end of the wild Cradle Mt - Lake St Clair National Park, itself a part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. The jagged contours of Cradle Mountain epitomise the feel of a wild landscape, while ancient rainforest and alpine heathlands, button grass and stands of colourful deciduous beech provide a range of environments to explore. Icy streams cascading out of rugged mountains, stands of ancient pines mirrored in the still waters of glacial lakes and a wealth of wildlife ensure there is always something to captivate you. The area is one of the most popular natural areas in Tasmania. A visit will reveal why.

BLUSTERY BANKS VINEYARD

Situated on a windswept hill overlooking Bass Strait to the North, rich, fertile farming ground to the East and West. Tasmania’s highland mountains tower from the South. Blustery Banks Vineyard is on the Northwest Coast of Tasmania. With a long growing season, our cool climate, award winning wines, deliver exceptional flavours to the palate.

The Cellar Door/Shop is open Monday-Saturday, with free wine tastings every day. You’ll find the Cellar Door at 26 Sheffield Rd, Spreyton, at the apple orchard, where together with our wonderful wines, you can also buy apples from the orchard and fresh locally sourced produce and Tasmanian gourmet products. They also have gift baskets and hampers made-up or you can choose your own.

DON RIVER RAILWAY
