If you have a chance to visit Australia for a long period, make sure you explore further to the south of the Australian mainland, the Tasmanian island. Separated by the Bass Strait, Tasmania is the 26th largest island in the world with its capital and largest city, Hobart. When doing a road trip to explore Tasmania, make sure to stop by at Blessington, a small town within the area of Northern Midlands, which is approximately 151 kilometers (93.8 miles) from Hobart. There are plenty of walking tours in Blessington and its surrounding area if you want to explore the Tasmanian outdoor scene. Ben Lomond National Park and the Evandale Market are just a few other things to explore when you are in Blessington. If you are planning a visit to Blessington, we’ve put together the top 10 Airbnb vacation rentals for you to choose from.
