Hear me out 😅 I know these might seem impossible to compare, and they are vastly different. The problem deciding is: they both look amazing and have so many things to see and do that we would love.
A fairly flexible trip of 7-12 days in October/November. Probably 2027 (planning well in advance). We will also be visiting Cairns and Brisbane (the whole trip would be 3+weeks).
We love outdoorsy everything. Water, beaches, boats, horseback riding, hiking, ATV/Segway/biking/etc., stargazing, markets/local shopping, being foodies, and anything animal-related. Basically just not into museums or big city shopping scenes, and nothing scary or death-defying (no rock climbing or jumping off anything high lol), etc.
I guess I'm asking what you think of each destination: which would you choose? Uluru has so many "experiences" which look incredible... but would we get bored staying in the same spot and looking at the same views at different angles/different lighting/different time of day? Would Tasmania be the same type of activities and scenery on repeat for every spot we stop in? (Loose brainstorm was: starting in Hobart, then Freycinet, and Launceston, stopping at points of interest or activities along the way)
Any advice or input greatly appreciated! If you think these are both terrible options and have a different 3rd destination to suggest, I'm all ears! 😊
