Make friends with the ducks beneath the stone arches of Richmond Bridge, then take your time in one of Tasmania’s best-preserved historic towns.

🦆 Wander the main street, dipping into shops, cafes and galleries housed in heritage sandstone buildings.

🦆 Stop at Richmond Bakery Tasmania and devour a scallop pie in the courtyard, or find a patch of grass and picnic by the bridge.

🦆 Step inside Richmond Gaol, one of Australia's oldest and most intact convict sites.

🦆 Taste your way across the wineries of the Coal River Valley and stock up on local produce at Wicked Cheese.

🦆 Head to Federation Artisan Chocolate for handcrafted tastings, then eat your fill of lollies at Sweets and Treats

Amazing off season offers!!

Tasmania was made for winter. The colder months bring crackling fires, dark skies, long lunches, wild coastlines and the kind of experiences that feel even better when there’s a chill in the air.

This year’s lineup is a reminder that some of Tasmania’s best experiences happen when the temperature drops.

You can soak beneath the stars outside Richmond, hand fill your own wh**ky bottle in the north, wander through west-coast rainforests searching for fungi or settle into a heritage cottage with nowhere else to be.

Best of all, these experiences are spread across every corner of the state, making winter the perfect excuse to take the long way somewhere and see Tasmania a little differently.

See our list of 24 reasons to experience the Off Season for yourself, in partnership with Tourism Tasmania, at bit.ly/4nKu7uW.
