The East Coast
BERTRAND CADART, MAYOR - The East Coast
When Bertrand became Mayor of Glamorgan Spring Bay Council, one of the first things he did was get rid of the council car and start travelling by scooter, a great way to get around this beautiful area of Tassie. Bertrand’s enthusiastic secrets will have you packing your bags for Tassie, but there’s so much more to experience on Tasmania’s east coast.
The coastal vineyards will slow your pace, if not bring you to a complete stop at the cellar doors. From Freycinet Vineyard to Coombend, Milton, Springvale and Apsley Gorge Vineyards, there are plenty of cool-climate drops to enjoy along the way.
Or for the perfect blend of wine and wilderness, book your place on the Wineglass to Wine Glass tour in Coles Bay. The full-day experience takes you to the stunning Wineglass Bay Lookout, down onto the pure white sands below and through to Hazards Beach where a banquet of exquisite local produce and fine Tasmanian wine awaits.
You can also discover the offshore island of Maria, a national park that is steeped in history and great to explore on mountain bike. You can also learn the fascinating history of Darlington Probation Station, one of the Australian Convict Sites recently inscribed onto the World Heritage List.
