An amazing natural and wildlife experience, this tour departs from Launceston and takes travellers through Tasmania’s majestic and ancient forests.
A short walk amongst the trees makes up the excursion’s first stop, before guests move on to enjoy a private five course dinner cooked over the campfire. Offering gourmet bush-tucker cuisine in the heart of the Tyne Valley, your meal is accompanied by a glass of Tasmanian cool climate wine.
The meal features unique recipes from the bush for you to try, with a Tasmanian game food dinner prepared by the ‘Bush Chef’. Options include a Tasmanian cheese platter, three native spice trout, mountain venison burgers or wallaby tenderloins.
As the sun begins to set, you can relax next to the campfire, savouring the sights, sounds and tastes of Tasmania as the valley comes alive in the evening. A unique chance to see some of Australia’s most intriguing species in the wild, you may spot eastern quoll, wombats, platypus, wallabies, possum and bandicoots.
Peopled out? If you visit Litchfield NP in the Northern Territory, drive anti-clockwise to give fellow visitors a wide berth and take in the waterfalls and termite mounds solo.
