Flinders Island Accommodation

Flinders Island

There are 52 islands in the 'Furneaux group' which lie off the North West Coast of Tasmania, of which Flinders is the largest. Unlike the islands of the Whitsundays you will find an abundance of native wildlife and have the chance to see life through a locals eyes. Sheep graze in nearby farmland and their wool is used to produce snuggly socks, scarf's, gloves and hats (and anything else that can be knitted), a nice pressie to take home for mum or dad or a cold weather treat for yourself.

You can take a boat tour of the islands or admire life from below the surface with a dive tour where you will also see reefs, shipwrecks and abundant sealife which is only found in these waters. A walk through Strzelecki National Park or along Trousers point Beach will give you an opportunity for some peaceful reflection and fantastic photographs to take home. Alternatively you can travel around the island on 4WD Tour or by motorbike and in the early evening watch the sunset over Bass Strait from Walkers Lookout. The view from Vinegar Hill to the nearby islands is spectacular.
