Next, head to the iconic Table Cape for breathtaking panoramic views of Tasmania’s northwest coast. If you're visiting in spring, you'll be treated to a vibrant display of tulips at the Table Cape Tulip Farm. Don’t forget to explore the Table Cape Lighthouse for a dose of history and stunning photo opportunities.

Midday: Picnic or Local Eats

Housed in a beautifully restored former bank building, The Vault Café blends historical charm with modern design. The space exudes character, with its high ceilings, original features, and a welcoming atmosphere that invites you to linger.
