Miena - Settle into alpine life with a scenic walk around Lake Augusta and Thousand Lakes Lodge in the Central Plateau Highlands

Central Plateau - Traverse subalpine moorlands and glacial landscapes while spotting native wildlife in this remote conservation area

Itinerary

Explore Tasmania’s Central Plateau on a four-day journey from Hobart into the island’s remote alpine heartlands. Visit historic Bothwell and the former hydro town of Waddamana before heading deep into the high country. Discover glacial tarns, windswept ridges and sub-alpine moorlands on walks to places like Allisons Hut and Lake Ada. Spot native wildlife including wombats, wallabies and Tasmanian devils, and explore the heritage-listed Steppes with its sculpture trail. With rugged scenery, rich natural history and a sense of true isolation, the Central Highlands offer a strikingly atmospheric escape.
