1 Day Bottom of the World

Depart from Hobart and journey to Australia’s southern most point. Cockle Creek, 120km south of Hobart, is the access point (for the intrepid) to the immense wilderness of the South West National Park and there is nothing between you and Antarctica except the vast Southern Ocean.

ITINERARY

After a short break in the seaside town of Dover we enter the South West National Park and arrive at Cockle Creek. This area is rich in history: whaling, saw milling, mining and at least 40,000 years of Indigenous habitation. Take the opportunity to relax on the pristine coastline of Recherche Bay or walk along the coast to the “Bottom of the World” (approx 2 hours return). There is also the option to travel on Australia’s southern most railway, the Ida Bay Bush Railway (at own expense). After a

relaxing lunch on the beach we stop in Geeveston, with its unique wooden sculptures representing various iconic locals. There’s time to check out the Forest and Heritage Centre (optional). A highlight today is the Tahune Airwalk (one of the longest treetop walks in Australia). Check out the new Indiana Jones style suspension bridge across the river, learn about the forest on an interpretive walk with your guide or simply relax in the café and enjoy the serenity! Thrill seekers will be keen to Eagle Hang Glide amongst the tree tops (own expense)! After a fun filled day, relax on the journey back to Hobart.
