Tasmania in winter is notoriously cold but come spring, tourists come in their droves and are always keen for new experiences. Thankfully the Apple Isle never fails to deliver, so here is what is new to do in Tassie this year.

**Cape Wickham Golf Course, King Island
**
The Cape Wickham golf course on King Island opens on 30 October 2015. What determined golfer could resist such a windswept, wild and beautiful setting where dramatic rugged cliffs lead down to wild beaches and ever-changing dunes? The remoteness of this getaway means practically the only building you'll see during your scenic game is the 48 metres tall, Cape Wickham Lighthouse.

While not new, one of my favourite things to do in Tassie is to go to Mona on the upmarket Mona ferry with champagne and nibbles. Click here for more information.
