Want to connect more closely to the land but not keen on 'roughing it'? Here are high-end experiences that give you the best of both worlds.

Picture yourself knee-deep in the waters of a marine farm, enjoying freshly shucked oysters with champagne. Or foraging in a kitchen garden for ripe produce and cooking up a storm in a rejuvenated schoolhouse. Or maybe strolling through a oak lined trufferie with a hunting hound by your side. At the end of the day, find yourself resting your head at some of Australia's most indulgent hotels and lodges.

These experiences and more are hidden away in Australia's south, so stop daydreaming and start doing, on this spectacular 5-day road trip adventure around Tasmania.
