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, [...]

A trip to the east coast of Tassie took us to a little place named The Gardens. We were staying in an Aunt’s old ‘Shack’. The house was generator powered and had an old car stereo and a pot belly stove to keep us entertained for the week. We dined on fresh oysters daily, Janz [...]

Hubby and I visited Tassie back in end of 2004. The whole trip was amazing – we went to Cradle Mountain, took a helicopter ride, Queenstown, Strahan, Hobart, Port Arthur, Swansea and up to Scamander and St Helens and then back to Stanley. After the first trip, we said we would definitely come back to [...]

Well worth it to bring our Subaru and head for the rugged West Coast, Tarkine wilderness, beautiful Corrina and finally, The Gordon River paddle. Our first night spent camped on the beach at Black River was spectacular, a beautiful sunny [...]

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, [...]

Tasmania was, as it always is, wonderful. Within hours of arriving, I never want to leave, and within hours of returning to Darwin, I feel like something is missing. It’s my heart. We adore the East Coast, and this time we spent 4 nights in Bicheno. We are fortunate enough to have friends who own [...]

From a spectacular overseas trip my partner and I returned to a Sydney in the midst of financial crisis. Both working in casual jobs and paying premium Sydney rent, we were struggling. It was then that my partner was offered a job in Tassie. We decided to take a short break to see what this [...]
