Boasting one of the world's top rankings in terms of "cleanest air", King Island in the Bass Strait off the Tasmanian north-west coast stands out as a must-visit for a number of reasons - ranging from its beautiful beaches, to its tantalising seafood, to its wonderful wildlife. Add in its nearly eternally-uncrowded nature and you've got a gorgeous getaway spot that offers even more escapism that your average island destination.
Why it's special: ruggedly beautiful natural environment; some top-notch, delectable produce highlighted by cheese; home of one of Australia's most unique and incredible golf courses; famously fresh air ranks among the world's cleanest
In additional to its scenery, this is an island of choice for those who put a priority on indulging their tastebuds during their travels; King Island in Tasmania's Bass Strait offers some truly enticing gourmet experiences to go along with its wonderful, beach-draped coastal environment. As a result, it's seldom been more pleasant for the aspiring traveller to follow up a wonderfully fresh meal by burning it off with some on-foot exploration, as the island is home to a range of top nature walks that bring along eminent rewards in return for the effort.
Perhaps the island's most famous culinary drawcard, however, is its cheeses - produced on-island by the widely acclaimed King Island Dairy, they're mouth-wateringly fresh and rich, with samplings available during opening hours, and form the perfect complement to some crayfish (another specialty) for one of Tassie's most memorable picnics.
There's plenty to keep visitors occupied on King Island other than its lovely culinary offerings, too - the island is home to a number of great walking trails on which to lose oneself, while waveseekers will be in their element with some excellent surfing available off a range of the island's pristine beaches. It's also something unexpectedly of a hotspot for golf, with both Ocean Dunes and the spectacular new Cape Wickham courses offering both wonderful challenges along with incredible coastal outlooks.
Perhaps the only relative "downside" of King island is the fact it's only accessible by air - however the upside to this is that visitor numbers remain relatively low even during high seasons; you'll thus be able to carve out a little slice of paradise all to yourself during a visit.
