Top Scenic Drives for Spring Photography
Huon Valley to Cockle Creek
This southern route blends riverside roads with rural charm. In spring, apple blossoms and green hills make for postcard-perfect views. End your drive at the southernmost point of Australia you can reach by car.
Tamar Valley Wine Route
Winding along the Tamar River, this region is full of vineyards, rolling hills, and spring blooms. Stop at cellar doors for a photo-worthy platter and glass of wine.
Derwent Valley and Mt Field National Park
Follow the Derwent River past New Norfolk into lush valleys and on to the cascading waterfalls and rainforest tracks of Mt Field. Perfect for nature and macro photography.
The East Coast: Orford to Bicheno
White sand beaches, turquoise water, and wildflower-lined highways make this one of the prettiest drives in Tasmania. Try sunrise near Swansea or sunset shots at Binalong Bay.
Highland Lakes Road
Less visited but truly spectacular, this central highlands route offers lakes, foggy mornings, and panoramic mountain views—all bursting to life in spring.
