Tassie Off Season 2024: Week 5
Across the island you will find countless offerings for experiences exclusive to the cooler months; because down here it is during the winter months that Tasmania truly shines.
We hope the offerings shared over the past few weeks have helped inspire your future events and demonstrated how events in Tasmania during winter are really something else.
