One of the first things that should strike any British visitor to Tasmania is the sheer number of wild mammals that inhabit the island.

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.

The first leg of the trip was an uneventful, though always interesting, journey across the top of the Island to Burnie, where we turned south on the road heading for Strahan.

In July last year, my new boyfriend and I took a last-minute whirlwind trip to Tasmania as our fourth date.
