Parks & Nature

Visit the beautiful beaches of Cockle Creek and be tempted to walk the South East Cape track to the southernmost tip of Australia. This walk is considered moderately difficult and takes 4 hours return. We would strongly advise wearing suitable walking shoes and appropriate clothing for all weather conditions. Please note that Tasmania’s weather can change rapidly and always check weather reports and be prepared for all climates.  Cockle Creek sits on beautiful Recherche Bay at the edge of the Southwest National Park and Tasmania's World Heritage Wilderness Area and is the furthest point south that one can drive in Australia. Stroll along the foreshore to learn of the bay's whaling history

Sightseeing

Newdegate Cave, the largest dolomite cave in Australia open to tourists. The caves are amazing. Wear something warm!
