Guest Jules Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Hi everyone Need some advice here. My inlaws are currently visiting and I was thinking of putting them to good use i.e babysitting our kids while hubby and I go on a little trip. Tasmania has always been high up on my list of places to see so I thought that this would be an ideal time to go and have a stickybeak. Have any of you been there and if so what were your experiences? We will probably only have a 3 or 4 day weekend to do this so I want to pack as much into it as possible. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could give me some info on places to stay (preferably self catering - we are vegetarian and it's just a lot easier if we can prepare our own food or go eat out at a restaurant of our choice), things to see, places to go, places to avoid, what to bring clothing wise for this time of year - bearing in mind we are Queenslanders so anything under 25 degrees is considered cold to us! Also any links for flights, car hire etc would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. LoveJulie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sunshine Sister Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Hey there Jules,Excellent thinking !! I have never been to Tassie, so I'm useless as far as info's concerned. Just wanted to pop in and say I hope you and hubs will have a fab time. A nice link (not sure if you will find it useful) that I know of http://www.discovertasmania.com.au/home/index.cfmLoveSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Spent two weeks there in January, it is the most beautiful state in Aus, and if I could get a job there, I would have gone there tomorrow. We did the overland track, an 8 day hike, which was an experience! Take the boat over from M'bourne, you wont be sorry. And take enough warm clothes, we had frost in summer on the track!
