Tasmania: A symphony of natural beauty

The beating heart of Tasmania is its pristine wilderness. In national parks like Cradle Mountain–Lake St Clair and Freycinet, you’re greeted by the rustle of eucalypt leaves in the wind and the songs of native birds. The kookaburra with its unmistakable laugh, the sharp calls of rosellas, and the delicate notes of the tiny pardalote weave together to form a chorus specific to this environment.

Along the coast the soundscape shifts: at Wineglass Bay or Bruny Island the soundtrack is the sea — waves pounding against granite headlands, mingling with the cries of seabirds. At night, the island presents different rhythms: the screech of the Tasmanian devil, the quiet hopping of wallabies in the undergrowth, and the chorus of insects filling the night air.

Tasmania is also home to unique cultural experiences designed for listening.

• Table Cape Sound Walk: an immersive trail where audio installations and QR codes reveal soundscapes that blend with the wind and the ocean.
• Salamanca Market in Hobart: every Saturday, the market comes alive with the voices of stallholders, the laughter of locals and visitors, and the music of buskers, creating a vibrant open-air concert.
• Storytowns Audio Tour in the Huon Valley: a narrated journey through small towns, where local voices share legends, traditions and stories of the region, straight into your headphones.

The real magic of Tasmania lies in its contrasts: lively soundscapes giving way to deep silences. From bustling markets to quiet forests, each moment invites you to pause and truly listen. Because listening isn’t just about hearing — it’s about feeling the emotions that sound can carry.

In Tasmania, time seems to slow down. The whisper of the forest, the night calls of wildlife, or the stillness of the outback — every sound is part of a symphony that belongs only to this wild island.

At Amplifon, we believe that protecting your hearing also means protecting the ability to experience places like these.
