Food was on my mind as I headed off on my first ever visit to Tasmania. I’d heard so much about the beautiful fresh produce and couldn’t wait to taste as much of it as I could during my four day visit. After a night in Hobart and breakfast on the waterfront, I picked up [...]

We spent 12 days touring this incredible island – first time to see snow for our gorgeous adopted Filipino daughters, savoured the delights of a cruise on the Franklin Gordon, the magic of Cradle Mountain, chair lift at Sheffield, friends at Launceston, Port Arthur, Richmond and the magic Botanical Gardens in Hobart. But the unplanned [...]

Arthur River is like a gateway to the wilderness. It is in western part of Tasmania on the coast. Our family spent 12 relaxing days there after leaving Launceston. From our beach house I could see lots of snapped trees piled on either side of the twinkling river. The water way led into the vast [...]

My sister and her husband retired to Somerset in the late 90′s. I had been to Tasmania on three occasions prior to this. 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. [...]

It was a beautiful day and we headed off to visit some caves. We first arrived at the service centre. Mum and dad had a tough decision between the King Solomon caves or the Marakoopa caves. Eventually mum and dad decided to go to Marakoopa caves because my little sister and I wanted to see [...]

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 [...]

In my last post, I barely touched upon the shifting climatic conditions that I faced while on the Northern Coast. That all came to a head as I made my way to the interior and journeyed to Cradle Mountain. The morning before, I had arisen just before sunrise to make the drive to Liffey Falls, [...]

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. [...]

One of the first things that should strike any British visitor to Tasmania is the sheer number of wild mammals that inhabit the island. We’re not just talking the odd roe deer here or badger there, but a fecund overload of marsupials – possums, wallabies and wombats – that suggests there is more than just [...]

As a professional Photographer who travels to Tasmania frequently for Landscape and Wedding Photography, I never get tired of the scenery. It just gets better and better each time I visit. To all the people that want to try something different, try Tasmania. You will not regret it. Instead you will find travelling there addictive. [...]

My friend is a fly fishing magician. His magic qualities refer not so much to his ability to coax fish onto his fly, but rather his uncanny ability to make himself invisible for a 10-day chunk of February each year. Magic man annually disappears from Victoria into the Tasmanian highlands on a fly fishing expedition. [...]
