Pack your bag and get ready to ride the Tassie wave – where winter’s fresh air hits different, and good vibes are never far off.
Tasmania/Lutruwita isn’t just rugged wilderness and postcard-perfect towns (though it’s got plenty of both). It’s also home to some of the best music, festivals, markets, coastlines, and cold-season charm in the country. No one does winter like Tassie – this isn’t just about tourist hotspots, it’s about the whole island coming alive. The heart of it beats strongest in the colder months, and you can feel it.
From belting out tunes at Festival of Voices to truffle hunting, floating sauna boats and long walks on Kunanyi, you’ll still feel Dark Mofo’s pulse all over Hobart – even if you’re not heading to the festival itself. Because when Tassie does something, the whole island gets behind it. And yes – you can do it all – or just unwind and do a little.
Our Happy Mag guide is your go-to for everything from Hobart to Launceston (and the best bits in between). Tasmania is the place to be this winter.
