Great Eastern Drive - Hobart to Coles Bay

From Hobart, the approach to Swansea features one of Tasmania's most curious convict constructions. Spiky Bridge was made from field stones laid without mortar or cement and the parapet has upright stones, giving the bridge the spiky appearance of its name. Aim for lunch and a lazy afternoon at one of the winery cellar doors clustered around Cranbrook. Milton's cellar door commands a glorious spot overlooking the vines, and Craigie Knowe is the region's oldest vineyard, with a cellar door inside an old barn. The sleek contemporary design of Devil's Corner delivers gorgeous views of your Freycinet journey ahead, as well as wood-fired pizza, oysters and seafood. Swing onto Freycinet Peninsula and settle in. Options include the luxe lodge Saffire Freycinet with spectacular views across Coles Bay to the Hazards. Big4 Iluka on Freycinet has camping and cabins in the heart of Coles Bay.
