Tasmania's Peninsulas, Plateaus and Islands
A granite peninsula, a walk-in-only alpine plateau and a car-free island: three very different ways to spend a few days in Tasmania.
Tasmania packs very different wild places into a small island. Freycinet is pink granite peaks and Wineglass Bay on the east coast, walkable in anything from 20 minutes to three days. Walls of Jerusalem is a walk-in-only alpine park on the Central Plateau, where the 23 km circuit takes three days. Maria Island is reached only by passenger ferry from Triabunna, with fossil cliffs, wombats and a World Heritage convict settlement. The three have different booking rules, and Tasmania is changing its system, so each guide says what applies and where to confirm it.

When bookings open in Tasmania
Booking rules differ by park: Freycinet's camping bookings are paused while Tasmania's new booking system starts, Walls of Jerusalem walkers register with Parks and Wildlife with no published booking window, and Maria Island's ferry must be booked. The booking-dates page has the current position and the official links.
