We were very fortunate to avoid the pre-Christmas madness and escape to the stunning Freycinet Peninsula for an incredible 4 day family hike. Our boys (ages 8 and 10) had the time of their lives, running free on pristine beaches, swimming in the spectacular Wineglass Bay, exploring the native bush, getting in touch with nature, [...]

Small, yet big, this Island is an absolute gem! Artisan producers hide away here and make the most beautiful produce. [...]

My wife and I were residents in Hobart for 5 years through the late 80s. Despite that there are still many parts of Tasmania left for us to visit. We recently returned from a 6-week visit staying in the north and west. One week in January 2012 was spent at Cradle Chalet at Moina from [...]

But the unplanned [...]

The first with a school excursion from Victoria in the 50′s, when we travelled by ferry and bus, visiting Hobart and Port Arthur. The second in the 70′s with a group of fellow teachers. [...]

I went to visit Tasmania for a month in August/September and I saw the world! Everything I could wish to see, do and experience I did in magical Tasmania. On an island about 450ks by 350Ks, we travelled over 4600ks around this picturesque paradise, navigating every highway, road and track that took our fancy. Apart from the constant breathtaking scenery I [...]

The first time we visited Cataract Gorge I was surprised how close it was to our house in Launceston. We climbed up a big hill that mum nicknamed ‘butt-cruncher hill’. It wasn’t easy climbing up the ‘Zig Zag’ track but it did help to jump from rock to rock. We checked out the look-out a [...]

We drove to the house we are staying in at Launceston and began exploring. The first waterfall dad drove to was Liffey falls. After an interesting drive up at the side of the mountain on a rough road, we stopped at a lovely Gazebo to eat our lunch. I ate some cheese and pickle sandwiches [...]

With St. Helens in my rear view mirror, I twisted and turned my way along the A3 as it snaked itself through the Blue Tier Forest Reserve. Tasmania’s tumultuous weather, which I had become accustomed to, was unbeknownst to me, about to add a blustery Antarctic punch to its already extensive plethora of meteorological power. [...]

The final decision of visiting Tasmania for out first trip to Australia has proven to be a wise one. We also decided to travel by motorhome to save our time in packing/unpacking and check-in/out, which was another wise decision. Growing up in a humid country, Malaysia, and travelling to a winter country would be an [...]

As host of iFISH I am fortunate enough to have been to Tasmania on over a dozen trips and, each time, the sole purpose has been the pursuit of fish. I can’t exactly put my finger on what it is, but there’s something that excites me greatly and makes me feel at home every time [...]
