Plan your trip to the North West of Tasmania to take part in Permission to Trespass. Everything from accommodation, experiences and amazing food and drink.
The magnificent plateau of Table Cape is by far one of the North West’s most remarkable natural wonders. Sitting at 180 metres high, ‘The Cape’ - as locals refer to it - dominates the Wynyard coastline and offers spectacular views of Tasmania’s coast and agricultural farmlands. The air is crisp and the rich, chocolate brown, volcanic soil is highly productive which makes an extraordinary place for produce to be grown.
