Sheffield

Mount Roland, Gary Lewis / Explore Australia Publishing

Population 1035

Inspired by the Canadian town of Chemainus, Sheffield has revitalised itself by commissioning artists to cover the town in murals depicting local history and scenery. As a result, the town has been transformed into Tasmania’s largest outdoor gallery and a centre for artisans creating beautiful work in wood, glass, precious metals, stone and even chocolate.

Cradle Mountain–Lake St Clair National Park Covering 124 942 ha, this national park has over 25 major peaks, including the state's highest, Mt Ossa, and possibly its most spectacular, Cradle Mountain. The terrain is marked by pristine waterfalls, U-shaped valleys, dolerite formations, forests of deciduous beech, Tasmanian myrtle, pandani and King Billy pine, and swathes of wildflowers. There are many tracks for all levels of experience, but visitors should always check for up-to-date information on conditions. The most famous walk is the 6-day Overland Track, a 65 km trail through spectacular alpine wilderness to Lake St Clair at the southern end of the park, and one of Australia's best-known walks for experienced, well-equipped walkers. Bookings are essential in summer and luxury guided walks are also available. Shorter trails include the Dove Lake Loop Track a 2 hr walk circling pretty Dove Lake beneath the shadow of Cradle Mountain; the 10-min Rainforest Walk through a patch of cool temperate rainforest behind the visitor centre; the easy 20 min Weindorfers Forest Walk through a glade of pines and myrtles; the half-hour Enchanted Walk beside pools and waterfalls and the more arduous 8 hr Summit Walk to the top of Cradle Mountain.
