At the far southern edge of Australia lies Tasmania, a wild, breathtaking, and beautifully unpredictable. It’s the birthplace of Blundstone, and it’s a place that has always invited exploration.
Tasmania’s landscape tells a story of contrasts: misty highlands give way to white-sand beaches, ancient rainforests meet open plains, and crisp mountain air rolls down to sea-level towns. It’s a place that feels both familiar and otherworldly. The perfect testing ground for a boot that can go anywhere.
For anyone dreaming of adventure, here are a few of our favorite Tasmanian places to wander. Blundstones, of course, highly recommended:
Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park
This is where Tasmania’s rugged spirit shines. Jagged peaks, alpine lakes, and winding trails create a landscape that’s as challenging as it is stunning. The Overland Track, one of Australia’s most iconic multi-day hikes is a true test of endurance and appreciation for nature’s raw beauty.
Wineglass Bay
One of the most photographed beaches in the world, Wineglass Bay offers a perfect blend of tranquility and adventure. Whether you’re hiking to the lookout or sinking your boots into the sand, it’s a reminder that simplicity and beauty often go hand in hand.
MONA and Hobart’s Waterfront
Tasmania’s capital, Hobart, blends creativity and heritage with ease. Wander the historic docks, explore the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), and enjoy the local food scene that celebrates the island’s connection to the land and sea.
The Tarkine Rainforest
Venture into one of the world’s largest temperate rainforests. A living link to Earth’s ancient past. The Tarkine’s moss-covered trees, hidden waterfalls, and quiet trails are perfect for those seeking stillness and awe in equal measure.
Tasmania isn’t just a destination; it’s a way of seeing the world. It’s where the land challenges you but also gives back in beauty and calm. It’s this balance of rugged yet refined that continues to inspire everything we do at Blundstone.
So, when you find yourself in Tasmania, take the time to explore. Slip on your boots, step off the beaten path, and see where the trail leads. Because here, at the edge of the world, every path tells a story and every story begins with a good pair of boots.
