"For a proper break from the nine-to-five existence, hop off the big island and onto King Island, or Flinders Island, Tasmania, where you'll find incredible fresh produce, friendly communities and uncrowded beaches with infinite ocean views.

Whether your to-do list is full of surfing, hiking, golf or simply eating and relaxing, the friendly locals on King Island can help you tick it off. King Island is building a reputation as being one of Australia's premier surfing destinations. If you're coming for a world-class golf course, you have the choice of two: Cape Wickham (capewickham.com.au) or Ocean Dunes (oceandunes.com.au). Cape Wickham sits under Australia's tallest lighthouse and has a view from every hole. Ocean Dunes is on two kilometres of coastline, with fairways weaving over and around sand dunes. The two courses regularly appear in lists of the best golf courses in the world. Hike into the Calcified Forest, a 30 minute, 1.3 kilometre walk that quickly reveals hundreds of curiously shaped limestone features that are the calcified remains of a 7000-year-old forest. To learn more about the history of the island, the King Island Historical Museum (kingisland.net.au) is in a former lighthouse keeper's cottage in 1980 and displays relics from some of the many shipwrecks that have occurred around King Island's coast.

King Island is well known for its world-class dairy, but there's so much more to the food story here: King Island Meat Providore (islandprovidore.com.au), in the main street of Currie, showcases the best local beef, lamb, and vegetables.

For coffee, look for the trendy Airstream coffee van run by two sisters known as Island Sisters (instagram.com/islandsisterski), inside The Nursery & Florist in Currie. Wild Harvest Restaurant and Cooking School (wildharvest kingisland.com.au) is an ocean-to-ta-ble delight, where the fresh, pure, local produce is transformed into beautiful meals, overlooking the water.

At King Island Distillery (kingislanddistillery.com), founder and artisan distiller, Heidi Weitjens makes gin, whisky, ruby grapefruit vodka and limoncello, plus she runs crayfish cooking classes.

For a wildly romantic time, Red Rock Hut (redrockhut.com.au) is a tiny house hidden away on the picturesque west coast of the island, with a wood-fired hot tub and sauna. King Island Brewhouse (instagram.com/kibrewhouse) is a family-run brewery crafting traditional and experimental brews.  Boomerang by the Sea (boomerangbythesea.com) offers views of the Great Southern Ocean and nearby King Island golf course. Between Currie and Cape Wickham, Kintyre (discov-ertasmania.com.au/kintyre) is a private cottage on a working farm complete with chickens and cattle. At the Island Breeze Motel (islandbreezemotel.com.au) the range of rooms, self-contained cabins and apartments can fit up to 40 guests." The Hobart Magazine, December 2024 Issue 65.
