What you gain in March
- ↑March is Tasmania's unsung sweet spot: 21°C days, 7 hours of sunshine, and the summer tourist peak subsiding noticeably after the school holidays end. The Overland Track in March has far better availability than February and the conditions remain excellent.
- ↑The autumn colour season begins in late March across the Huon Valley and in the formal gardens of historic properties — Woolmers Estate near Longford and the gardens of Richmond village show early autumn tones. The drive south from Hobart along the Channel Highway through apple country is at its most beautiful.
- ↑MONA remains open and the permanent collection — including the cloaca machine, the James Turrell sky space, and the Sidney Nolan snake — is best experienced without January's crowd. The ferry crossing from Brooke Street Pier takes 25 minutes and is itself a good introduction to the Derwent.
What you sacrifice
- ↓Rainfall nudges back up to 45mm from February's 40mm — the same as January but with fewer sunshine hours. March weather is reliable but not as guaranteed as the peak summer months.
- ↓The Freycinet and Bay of Fires coastal experience begins cooling: water temperatures drop slightly from February and the long evening light shortens. Still excellent, but the intensity of the summer peak has passed.
