Glow-worm caves
Tasmania has more caves than anywhere else in Australia, over 300 of them, including the deepest and longest. Wild Cave Tours run half-day guided trips for as few as two people through stream caves, glow-worm chambers and honeycombed hills.
Aurora chasing
The southern lights, Aurora Australis, can be seen year-round in Tasmania, best from June to August on a clear night. Cockle Creek, a scenic hour’s drive south of Geeveston and Australia’s southernmost point, is the best place in the state to watch.
