Wild, remote, and breathtakingly beautiful — Tasmania’s West Coast truly feels like the edge of the world. The drive itself is an adventure, winding through rugged mountains and thick temperate rainforest before opening out to windswept beaches like those at Arthur River, where a sign marks this wild stretch of coastline as the “Edge of the World.”

The journey continues to Strahan, a quiet harbour town on Macquarie Harbour, where river cruises glide up the magnificent Gordon River. The reflections of Huon pines and morning mist create a mirror-like calm that makes this one of Tasmania’s most magical experiences. The sense of isolation and grandeur here is unlike anywhere else — a place where nature dominates and time slows right down.
