+# Tasmanian Adventures
+
+This page is an opinionated list of things to do while you're in Tasmania. We'll start small
+and end with some longer adventures.
+
+## Less than a day
+
+### MONA
+
+Go to [MONA](https://mona.net.au/visit). This is pretty much required. You'll need
+around half a day and if you can spare the money, take the return ferry from
+Salamanca. Get lunch out there, explore the museum, pay extra for little side
+adventures and get lost in the tunnels or laze about on the lawn. There's
+usually Jazz on a Saturday afternoon.
+
+### Mount Wellington/kunanyi
+
+You can drive to the top and catch some fantastic views, but take a jumper as it's
+always cold. About halfway up is called the Springs, and there are a whole bunch
+of [short and long walks](https://tastrails.com/category/location/hobart-and-surrounding/wellington-park/)
+from here. There are tourist buses and bike hiring things, but you can just catch
+a ride with someone and explore too. Beware that clouds like to hug the top of the
+mountain from time to time, just look up when you are in the city and if the peak
+looks clear it's time to go!
+
+### Salamanca Market
+
+If you're in Hobart on a Saturday morning, don't miss the
+[Salamanca Market](https://www.salamancamarket.com.au/). This vibrant market features
+local produce, crafts, and food stalls. It's a great place to experience Tasmanian
+culture and pick up unique souvenirs.
+
+## Day trips from Hobart
+
+### Mount Field National Park
+
+[Mount Field National Park](https://parks.tas.gov.au/explore-our-parks/mount-field-national-park)
+is a great day trip from Hobart, offering a variety of
+hiking trails through lush rainforests, alpine meadows, and past stunning waterfalls
+like Russell Falls. It's a perfect introduction to Tasmania's diverse landscapes.
+The low part of the park offers easy and beautiful walks through the rainforest,
+but if you are looking for something more challenging you can drive to the top
+and take your pick from a range of stunning mountain hikes.
+
+### Huon Valley
+
+The [Huon Valley](https://www.huonvalleytas.com/), just south of Hobart, is known for its apple orchards, vineyards,
+and artisanal producers. Take a scenic drive through the countryside, stopping at
+farm gates, cider houses, and charming towns like Cygnet and Geeveston. Don't miss
+the Tahune AirWalk for a bird's-eye view of the Huon River and surrounding forests.
+
+### Tasman Peninsula
+
+The [Tasman Peninsula](https://tasmania.com/points-of-interest/tasman-peninsula/),
+southeast of Hobart, is known for its dramatic sea cliffs, historic
+Port Arthur, and the Three Capes Track. Cruise along the coast to spot wildlife like seals
+and whales, explore the ruins of the former convict settlement, admire impressive geological
+formations such as the Tasman Arch and the Tessellated pavement, and hike a section of the
+Three Capes Track for stunning views of the peninsula's rugged beauty.
+
+### Freycinet National Park
+
+[Freycinet National Park](https://parks.tas.gov.au/explore-our-parks/freycinet-national-park),
+located on the east coast, is famous for its stunning
+beaches, including Wineglass Bay, often rated among the world's best beaches.
+The park offers a variety of hiking trails, including the popular Wineglass Bay
+Lookout walk, which provides breathtaking views. You can also enjoy kayaking,
+snorkeling, and wildlife spotting.
+
+## Longer Experiences
+
+### Bruny Island
+
+Bruny Island, accessible by a short ferry ride from Kettering, is a microcosm
+of Tasmania's natural beauty. Spot wildlife like the white wallaby, explore
+the rugged coastline, and sample local produce like cheese, oysters, and fudge.
+The Neck Lookout and the Fluted Cape hike are must-dos.
+
+### Cradle Mountain and Deloraine
+
+Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park is home to the famous Overland Track,
+a challenging multi-day hike through alpine landscapes. Even if you don't tackle
+the full track, there are plenty of shorter walks to enjoy the park's highlights,
+like Dove Lake and Cradle Mountain itself. Nearby Deloraine is a charming town
+with a thriving arts scene.
+
+### Strahan and Queenstown (West Coast)
+
+The West Coast is known for its mining history, rugged landscapes, and the Gordon River
+Cruise from Strahan. Explore the remnants of the mining boom in Queenstown, hike
+to Nelson Falls, and take in the views from Hogarth Falls. The West Coast Wilderness
+Railway is another great way to experience the region's history and scenery. Cruise
+up the river from Strahan to see the ancient huon pine forests.
+
+### Bay of Fires (East Coast)
+
+The Bay of Fires, stretching from Binalong Bay to Eddystone Point, is famous for its
+white sand beaches, turquoise waters, and orange lichen-covered boulders. It's a great
+spot for hiking, swimming, fishing, and kayaking. Stay in one of the beachside campgrounds
+or eco-lodges to fully immerse yourself in the coastal beauty. On the way there from Hobart,
+you can stop at Bicheno for a lobster roll.
+
+### Maria Island
+
+Maria Island is a national park and wildlife sanctuary accessible by ferry from
+Triabunna. Known for its stunning landscapes, historic ruins, and abundant wildlife
+(including wombats and Tasmanian devils), it's perfect for hiking and exploring.
+The Painted Cliffs and the Fossil Cliffs are highlights of the island.
