When most people picture Tasmania in Australia, they imagine epic mountain hikes, rugged wilderness and multi-day adventures. But one of the biggest surprises for me was discovering that some of the island's most unforgettable experiences came from walks that took less than three hours… and often much less.

From standing above the blue waters of Wineglass Bay to wandering through ancient rainforest, or strolling beneath towering trees, these short walks delivered some of the biggest highlights of my trip. They proved that you don't need endless time, incredible fitness or expensive gear to experience the very best of Tasmania.

In this episode of Tourist to Traveller, I'm sharing why Tasmania's 60 Great Short Walks deserve a place on every travel itinerary, along with my favourite walks from the list, plus practical planning tips.
