Sightseeing

Only a 10 minute drive to St Marys and another 10 minutes up to the South Sisters Lookout. You can drive almost to the start of the short walk. The last part of the drive is 4WD recommended. The start of the walk is located just behind what looks like a fenced off Telstra Mobile Tower. At 831m above sea level, the views are stunning. The flora on the walk is just as beautiful as the view itself, with 360 degree views.

The Bay of Fires is a series of stunning bays on the northeastern coast of Tasmania in Australia, extending from Binalong Bay to Eddystone Point. The bay was given its name in 1773 by Captain Tobias Furneaux in Adventure, who saw the fires of Aboriginal people on the beaches. The bright orange lichen against the aqua blue hues of the water and the incredible white sand, give this special destination its attraction. A 20 minute drive to St Helens & then a 10 minute drive out to Binalong Bay to start your drive journey hopping in and out of the different beaches. You will want to flop into the water, it’s incredibly inviting, until you experience the temperature. Tasmania is a cold temperature climate, great for growing grapes, not so much for spending time ocean swimming. The brave are an exception.

An understated experience and only a 50 minute drive from Falmouth. Stunning water holes with the gorge surrounded by massive dolerite cliffs on either side. There are deep pools that are a beautiful deep green and small cascades all the way down the river. The experience can be a short walk in and out in the same trail to the gorge for a swim and back to the car park or continue for more of a challenge and a much longer hike. Check the Tas Parks and Wildlife web site for full details of the park. https://parks.tas.gov.au/explore-our-parks/douglas-apsley-national-park This

Falmouth Coastal Walk and Blowhole

Falmouth is surrounded on three sides by water. Taking one of the side streets and head east will bring you out to the most beautiful coastal walks I have ever experienced. It’s not long, but the walk is spectacular. I have walked this at different times of the day, sunset, day break, each will give you a sense of belonging. There are blow holes where the sea is forced through an aperture, a ‘blowhole.’ The Falmouth blowholes are located just north of Howitt Street. Howitt Street is the most north easterly street in Falmouth. Walk to the end of Morrison Street in a northerly direction and turn right on Hammond which then runs left and turns into Howitt Street. At the end of Howitt Street you can walk either right down the vacant block to the coastal track and down onto the rocks or straight ahead and then make your way around the coastal track. Don’t expect to see anything blowing on a calm day. The rougher the ocean the bigger the blows!

ACTIVITIES

Henderson’s Lagoon is a tidal stretch of water that allows for great water sport fun. Many a local have their kayaks permanently parked on the shore of the lagoon and it is also popular for SUP. The lagoon is balmy on a hot summers day. Perfect and safe for families. Great for shell fossicking, and if you walk to the mouth of the lagoon, you will come across a quiet beach cove that is no longer Sandy, but filled with shell’s.

If your looking to catch a few waves then Falmouth would be smack bang in the middle of some of the locals fav spots! Fancy surfing? A 10 minute drive will bring you to Beaumaris’ with Dark Hollow & Shelley Beaches, heading back to Scamander and on the tide changes head to the Scamander River Mouth for some fun. Or keep it close with a walk to the headland off Falmouth. Or less than a 5 minute drive to Four Mile Creek through to Iron House Point, will keep you surfing throughout the year! Or if you would like to learn to surf, book a private lesson with 42 South Surf School!
