Have you ever witnessed the aurora australis on East Coast Tasmania? Tell us where you were and what it was like 🩵

East Coast Tasmania is one of the best places in Australia to witness the aurora australis, thanks to its dark skies, low light pollution and unobstructed views to the south. When the conditions align, moments like this are the reward for those who are watching and waiting.

Our tips for catching the aurora on the East Coast:
🌙 Download an aurora alert app to track activity
📱 Follow aurora chasing community pages for real time updates
🌑 Head to a dark beach away from town lights
📷 A camera on a tripod will capture colours the naked eye may miss

What a beautiful area to live, such a tranquil place to visit in Winter

Have you visited Coles Bay this winter? 🩵

Known as the gateway to Freycinet (frey-sin-ay), Coles Bay is a great destination on its own. You can swim in the ocean, try fishing, or walk along nearby beaches like Richardsons, Muirs, or the Friendly Beaches. There are plenty of places to stay, with options to suit all budgets. You’ll also find a few shops, cafés, and restaurants in town.
