What you gain in April
- ↑April brings Tasmania's best autumn foliage: the European trees planted in Hobart's Domain, the avenues of Launceston's Cataract Gorge reserve, and the deciduous beeches (nothofagus) on the slopes of Mount Field National Park all turn gold and rust. The 90-minute drive from Hobart to Mount Field is the finest autumn landscape drive in Australia.
- ↑ANZAC Day (April 25) is observed with genuine ceremony across Tasmania — the Hobart cenotaph service and the Kokoda veterans' commemorations at the Salamanca Arts Centre are moving and accessible to visitors. The day has a reflective city atmosphere quite different from the summer festival energy.
- ↑Accommodation prices across Tasmania fall noticeably from summer peaks. April is the best month to experience Freycinet, the Huon Valley, and the Tasman Peninsula without the queues or premium pricing of January.
What you sacrifice
- ↓Sunshine hours drop from 7 in March to 5.5 in April and rainfall increases to 55mm. Overcast days are more common and the light for photography is less reliable.
- ↓The Overland Track closes to independent walkers from May 1 — April is the last month to complete it in the walking season. Bookings in April are easier than summer but the weather window is narrower.
