Tasmania's wild west coast:

Ancient wilderness and untamed adventure


西海岸是塔斯马尼亚荒野的中心地带,这里有原始的河流、古老的松树和巨大的沙丘。来一场漂流挑战著名的富兰克林河;游览壮丽的戈登河,在世界上最后的温带雨林徒步,经过1000年历史的泪柏,体验澳洲这个荒芜崎岖之地的真正的味道。作为澳洲最后一片荒野边疆,当地囚犯、伐木业和采矿业的历史塑造了这个国家的社会结构。

Home to untamed rivers, ancient pine trees and giant sand dunes, the west coast is at the heart of Tasmania's wilderness. Challenge the infamous Franklin River on a white-water rafting expedition, cruise down the majestic Gordon River and hike past 1,000-year-old Huon pines in one of the world's last temperate rainforests for a true taste of this rugged corner of Australia. Considered one of the country's last wilderness frontiers, the region's convict, logging and mining past has helped shaped the social fabric of the state.

Things to do and top attractions on Tasmania's west coast




畅游戈登河

在塔斯马尼亚荒野世界遗产地区的戈登河平静的水域航行,同时走过茂盛的温带雨林。在斯特拉汉镇,参加戈登河航行项目,乘坐一艘大型双体船穿过麦格里港进入戈登河。当你探索戈登河,专业导游会为你解说,电动马达让安静的世界也充满生机,而国际旅客可以选择免费的语音导览。记得一定要带上你的相机,这样你才能捕捉到这条河的美丽景致;穿着舒适的鞋子以便踏上以泪柏闻名的登陆点和塔斯马尼亚最古老的罪犯流放地萨拉岛。世界遗产游轮公司也经营上午和下午的戈登河游轮。

Coast past dense temperate rainforest as you travel the calm waters of Gordon River in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. Depart from the town of Strahan and journey across Macquarie Harbour into Gordon River aboard a large catamaran with Gordon River Cruises. An expert nature guide provides commentary as you explore the Gordon River, cruising quietly under Spirit of the Wild's electric motors, while international passengers can plug into complimentary audio tours. Be sure to pack your camera so you can capture the river's beauty and wear comfortable shoes for walking on Heritage Landing (known for its ancient Huon pines) and Sarah Island (Tasmania's oldest convict settlement). World Heritage Cruises also runs morning and afternoon cruises incorporating the Gordon River.

舒展筋骨

富兰克林-戈登野河国家公园有一些塔斯马尼亚最具田园风情的步道。在一公里(0.62英里)富兰克林河自然步道舒展筋骨,穿过凉爽的雨林。这条小路方便轮椅通行,还有野餐桌和洗手间。另一个更轻松的选择(20分钟往返)的是纳尔逊瀑布自然步道,它通向壮观的30米(98英尺)纳尔逊瀑布。对于有经验的徒步旅行者来说,要攀登法国帽(1443米- 4734英尺)的顶峰是一段艰难的旅程,这是澳大利亚最古老的礁石之一。它需要4到5天的时间往返,期间通过钮扣草平原,冰川山谷和雨林,最终通往胡恩湖。尽管沿途有两个小屋供住宿,徒步旅行者最好还是带一顶帐篷。国家公园里的大多数徒步都是自助的,但塔斯马尼亚探险队也提供了为期六天的从朗塞斯顿出发的法国帽之旅。

Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park has some of Tasmania's most idyllic walks. Stretch your legs on the one-kilometre (0.62-mile) Franklin River Nature Trail, which passes through cool rainforest. The trail is suitable for wheelchairs and there are also picnic tables and toilets. Another gentle option (20-minute return) is the Nelson Falls Nature Trail, which leads to the spectacular 30-metre (98-foot) Nelson Falls. For experienced walkers, there is the arduous hike to the summit of Frenchmans Cap (1,443 metres-4,734 feet), some of Australia’s oldest exposed rock. It takes four to five days return and passes buttongrass plains, glacial valleys and rainforest as you make your way to Lake Tahune. Hikers need to carry a tent, although there are two huts along the track to stay in. Most of the walks in the national park are self-guided, however Tasmanian Expeditions offers a six-day Frenchmans Cap trek out of Launceston.

从直升机或越野车上把风景看透

如果你想换种方式体验塔斯马尼亚西海岸的风光,与帕拉维恩航空公司一起,登上观光直升机,体验荒野之旅吧。西海岸荒野之旅从剑桥出发,带着乘客飞跃中部高地,前往麦格里港,然后前往斯特拉汉,参加戈登河游轮航行。游览结束后,你将有机会在斯特拉汉周围漫步,然后乘飞机返回剑桥。你将花费大约50分钟在空中,而一天的旅行总共是9个小时。如果你想体验另类冒险,你可以在距离斯特拉汉北部11公里(6.8英里)驾着一辆越野车绕着汉蒂沙丘行驶。当地人才知道的被视为当地人的秘密的斯特拉汉越野之旅为全家提供了一小时的沙丘之旅。

If you're after even more ways to experience Tasmania's west coast, take a scenic helicopter flight with Par-Avion Wilderness Tours. The Wild West Coast Tour departs from Cambridge, taking passengers over the Central Highlands towards Macquarie Harbour, before descending to Strahan to join a Gordon River cruise. After the cruise, you'll have a chance to stroll around Strahan before returning by air to Cambridge. You'll spend about 50 minutes in the air each way, while the day trip is nine hours in total. For an adventure of another kind, drive a buggy around Henty sand dunes, 11 kilometres (6.8 miles) north of Strahan. Considered a locals' secret, Strahan ATV Adventures offers one-hour dune tours for the entire family.

造访斯特拉汉

如果所有这些探索都让你筋疲力尽,那就在斯特拉汉渔村放慢脚步。在观景42º餐吧吃新鲜的当地的海鲜,并尝试塔斯马尼亚奶酪和葡萄酒,或者叫哈默尔酒店轻松地享用小酒馆美食。

斯特拉汉提供各种档次住宿。豪华的驾驶室公寓让人饱览令人惊叹的港口景色,而一些家庭游客会选择住在斯特拉汉平房的独立单元感到宾至如归。在你的停留期间,看看西海岸荒野铁路,在那里您可以乘坐一个修复过的蒸汽动力机车。搭乘它的河流和雨林之旅,沿着前海岸进入雨林。火车也开往西海岸的中心女王镇,距斯特拉汉东北方向大约45分钟的车程。女王镇是一座曾经的铜矿和伐木城市,你可以通过“漫游荒野”了解它的过去。

If all of that exploring has you exhausted, slow the pace in the fishing village of Strahan. Dine on fresh, local seafood and sample Tasmanian cheese and wine at View 42º Restaurant and Bar, or call into Hamer's Hotel for a relaxed bistro meal. Strahan is also a great place to base yourself with a range of accommodation options. The luxurious Wheelhouse Apartments make the most of the stunning harbour views, while families will feel at home in the self-contained units at Strahan Bungalows. During your stay, check out West Coast Wilderness Railway, where you can ride in a restored steam-powered locomotive. Hop aboard its River and Rainforest journey travelling along the foreshore and into rainforest. Trains also run to Queenstown, the hub of the west coast, about a 45-minute drive north-east of Strahan. Queenstown is a former copper mining and logging city, and you can learn about its past with Roam Wild.
