Best fishing spots around the nation

Fishing is a great way to relax and an excellent activity to undertake while camping.

In an attempt to get more people to give fishing a go, we’ve listed the best spots to get you started.

Tasmania

A little fishing town located on Tassie’s west coast is the perfect place to get you into relax mode.

This harbour-side village is filled with history and surrounded by dense, thick forest- perfect to get away from all the hustle and bustle.

For some extra activities, you can cruise along the river and get a glimpse of the Franklin–Gordon Wild Rivers National Park’s beauty.

Port Douglas is an excellent place to visit for the ultimate fishing trip. Located a short drive from Cairns, it’s ideal for a long weekend away.

You can pick from the gorgeous coast or the phenomenal lakes by the Daintree Forest to camp down and de-stress.

It’s beautiful, white sandy coastline is the perfect spot to calm your mind. The small, coastal town is a perfect way to hit the reset button and unwind.
