Who would have thought that the little island at the bottom of our great country could be home to some of the most scenic unspoilt magic Australia has to offer.  Breath taking scenery, unique and exquisite produce and some of the friendliest people I have come across. My unexpected journey to this Van Diemens land [...]

I have been to Tasmania several times over the past 10 years as my partner Emma has family there and was born there, however the last time I was there was the most special.  We live in NSW and decided to drive down the coast and take the Spirit of Tasmania across. The Spirit has warm [...]

OMG! I felt like a young girl as my husband Ron parked the car outside the Post Office in High Street of the tiny historical village of Ross. A bright fire-engine-red letter box stood erect on the footpath just like the one I posted my Wish List to Santa, which my mother put in an [...]

We last stayed at Penguin at a little cottage where the host were fantasic, they would bake us bread and cakes.  My youngest enjoyed seeing the Peanut ( [...]

A recent short break touring Tasmania was the perfect antidote to a damp and gloomy Sydney winter. With an itinerary that included the majestic Cradle Mountain, rugged Bay of Fires, and pristine Wineglass Bay, Tassie revealed itself to be a land of jaw-dropping beauty. It is an enchanted land riven with lush green forests and wild, [...]

It was only because I declared that I would return that I could put to rest the war within. It was agreed this would not be the first and last visit. The pull to return to this southern gateway of wonder has never left – it’s 24 years since my first visit, but not my [...]

We love Tasmania, for so many reasons – the pace of life, the scenery, the food, the people and the natural beauty. One of our favourite things to do whenever we stay is to find somewhere off the beaten track (you don’t have to go far), get out your torch and start spotlighting- there is [...]

My friend and I ventured to the Mersey River in an attempt to catch our first Tasmanian stream trout. We hiked down to the river from the Alum Cliffs walk (an adventure in itself) with instructions to our wives “pick us up at the Union Bridge just outside Mole Creek at 4pm”. We got to [...]
