Natural Attractions
The Tasmanian Arboretum is a 66-hectare botanical tree park and nature reserve in Tasmania’s North West. A great place to enjoy the trees of the temperate world, wildlife, including platypus (we are the best place in Australia to view them in the wild), and native birds, with over 80 species recorded. Come for a few hours or the whole day to explore and relax.
Only 12 kilometres from Devonport and a short drive to Sheffield, the town of murals. The Arboretum is situated in a peaceful and beautiful valley, offering picnic shelters, two of which feature coin-operated electric barbecues, as well as a platypus observatory and bird hide on the shores of Founders’ Lake.
Cultural and natural heritage combine in the Limestone Heritage Walk, a self-guided walk linking the geology with a century of human activity contributing to colonial and national development. Guided walks are available for a reasonable cost and can be booked online. Bookings are essential.
They are open every day of the year – 9:00 am to 8:00 pm during daylight saving and 9:00 am to 5:00 pm the rest of the year.
