We are Tasmanian “born and bred”, but left ten years ago for a work promotion in the tropics. After three years of going troppo we loaded the car (2 adults, 2 kids and Gromit the Dog) for a holiday road trip and a quintessential Tasmanian experience. We’d previously bushwalked, Cradle Laked, Port Arthured, Salamanca Placed, [...]

Having visited Tassie many times and visiting many areas, one that always excited and intrigued us was the North West Coast and the surrounding Western Wilderness — we were not disappointed! Travelling from Marrawah down to Corinna, the Tarkine Wilderness and west coast appears virtually untouched but we were told it is under increasing threat. This is [...]

I went to Tasmania in September 2009. They had the worst storms in 50 years, major flooding and high winds. This all really added to the adventure. I drove 1,700km around the island and pretty much experienced some of the best countryside. One minute you thought you were in Bonnie Scotland and round the next [...]

Our family ventured to Tasmania in December last year. We drove to the ferry from Adelaide and headed over to Tasmania. The experiences we had were amazing. The scenery and wildlife we saw were magnificent. My two children now 7 and 9 can still recall all the animals they saw, some historical facts about Tasmania and [...]

Jon and Pat Riordan, married in Hobart, Tasmania, in 1984, returned in October 2009 to celebrate twenty five years of marriage. This event happened to coincide with the Variety Club’s ‘TasBash’ and so they donned their alias’ Plucka and Mrs Plucka, and joined in the drive around Tasmania to raise money for special children.

The drive into Cradle draws you into real nature with Great Western Tiers and Roland Mountain luring you deeper into this stunning area. We were greeted at our Cradle Mountain lodge by a fiesty wombat. Later in [...]

Tasmania is the best place I know to satisfy my passion for fresh, natural flavours. I first visited the State in 1990 to source wonderful ocean trout for my Sydney restaurant, Tetsuya’s. I knew then that I had found a food-lover’s paradise. Regular business visits since have shown me many other aspects of Tasmania. There [...]

At the age of twenty-four, I can honestly say that I have experienced “God’s own acre”: Tasmania – one of the most exquisite, unspoilt and wild places on the planet. There is so much it has to offer and the 5 days that my husband and I had to explore, couldn’t have in anyway done it justice. [...]

It’s hard to believe that January 2010 was my first ever visit to Tasmania. Having travelled extensively around the world, I should preface this piece by saying that I think I have saved the best till now. Flying low over Bass Strait and then suddenly seeing land, an immediate calm came over me, associated with [...]

When I visualised my first day of Targa Tasmania [2010], the overriding image was one of blue skies and dry roads. Reality was a storm to rival anything we get back in Auckland. Horizontal rain and standing water claimed their first victim less than 500 metres into the Rally; a gorgeous Alpine A110 falling down [...]
