Frequently asked questions about hostels in Tasmania
What are the most affordable attractions for backpackers to visit in Tasmania, Australia?
For budget-conscious travellers, Tasmania offers plenty. Many of the island's stunning beaches are free to access, like the Bay of Fires or Wineglass Bay in Freycinet National Park. Hiking is another fantastic and affordable activity; the Overland Track is a classic, though requiring more planning, while shorter, less strenuous walks abound in national parks across the state. Exploring towns like Sheffield, known for its murals, or wandering through the Salamanca Market in Hobart (on Saturdays) are also free and offer a great cultural experience. You can also find affordable camping options within many of Tasmania's national parks.
What are some unmissable, lesser-known spots in Tasmania, Australia?
While Cradle Mountain and Freycinet are popular, consider exploring the Tarkine wilderness, a vast, untouched rainforest in the north-west. The remote west coast offers dramatic cliffs and secluded beaches, such as those around Strahan. For something different, visit the historic mining town of Beaconsfield, or explore the unique rock formations and coastal scenery of Eaglehawk Neck and the Tasman Arch.
