Day 1 - Sydney – Flinders Island
After departing Sydney we fly along the south coast of New South
Wales across Bass Strait to Flinders Island. Upon arrival we
are met by Jimmy who will be our guide for our stay. Flinders
Island is steeped in both history and natural wonder. It was
here in the mid 1800’s that the last of the Tasmanian
Aboriginals were resettled. For nature lovers the island is
akin to a mini
England- to the north the country is rolling grasslands like
Sussex; to the west it takes on the appearance of the Norfolk
Downs; whilst to the south it resembles the Scottish highlands
and west country. ( Interstate Hotel) (LD)
Day 2 - Flinders Island - Strahan
From Flinders Island we head southwest over the highlands of Tasmania and
into Strahan. Here we transfer to a 60ft ketch for a cruise on Macquarie
Harbour. Upon returning to the dockside, we journey inland climbing the
steep slopes of the surrounding hills to Queenstown. Chancellor Inn (BLD)
Day 3 - Strahan – King Island
The flight this morning is spectacular as we fly abeam the rugged
cliff faces of Tasmania’s wet coast to our destination
King Island. Upon our arrival we are met by our guide who will
take
us on a tour of the main town centre of Currie, and then on
to the kelp harvesting. Whilst on the island you have the opportunity
to experience all the delights of King Island cheese and meat
products. Boomerang Motel (BLD)
Day 4 - King Island – Sydney
This morning we continue to explore King Island. After lunch, we fly across Bass Strait to Sydney (BL).
