With 4 of Australia's best golf courses within easy reach of each other, Tasmania's Barnbougle & King Island have fast become Australia's hottest golfing destinations.
Both of these Tasmanian locations offer delightful non-golf attractions: King Island is renowned for its production of cheese and its fresh seafood, most notably the crayfish; and mainland Tasmania is the home to many well-known wineries, prestigious Chef-hatted restaurants and some incredibly beautiful nature reserves and national parks.
