Nestled in the agricultural heart of Tasmania's North West, a journey to Tasmania's Outdoor Art Gallery takes you from low-lying Devonport and Latrobe to the tip of a world heritage listed icon, Cradle Mountain.
Patchwork fertile farmlands, watched over by the craggy giant Mt Roland, are clues that you are getting closer to paradise. Are you looking for the historic murals of Sheffield, the living, breathing topiary sculptures of Railton or the wacky Wilmot mailbox trail?
Tasmania's Outdoor Art Gallery - a place where you can recharge amidst the natural beauty, and enjoy fun family attractions, fresh country produce and award-winning local wines. Cradle Mountain National Park is just up the road, a spectacular alpine wilderness waiting for you to explore.
To experience a short stay in Cradle Country means to have ones soul touch the place of peace.

Our region includes:
SHEFFIELD - The Town of Murals
Pioneers when uncovering this area were so transfixed by the stunning beauty that they used names such as Promised Land, Paradise and No Where Else to encapsulate their wonder of the area - for visitors today, this still rings true!
Sheffield’s Town of Murals connects Kentish pioneering history to the present day. The ‘Story of the Sheffield Murals’ audio tour is the perfect way to see the murals as the audio tour brings the murals to life.
Rich agricultural fields, vast landscapes portraying rolling green hills natural vistas - are all part and parcel when journeying from the Coast to Sheffield to Cradle Mountain.
RAILTON - The Town of Topiary
A town built on industrial heritage is now developing its future through the shape, figures and forms depicted in the many living topiaries (sculptured plants) dotted along its streets. Through topiary, Railton can boast of having Tasmanias only living Tasmanian tiger.
Railton provides a great opportunity to stretch the legs, grab a drink and a home made biscuit, and browse its quaint shops. Fishing, Walking, Picnics, BBQs and the Tasmanian Trail can all be accessed at Railton.
