My Family and I travelled by motor home around Tasmania and we had our best holiday yet. Not all our time was spent fishing but doing a lap of Tassie in a motor home opens more possibilities than an angler can imagine; especially when it comes to targeting the island’s biggest fishing draw card; trout (there is [...]

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 [...]

After the first trip, we said we would definitely come back to [...]

We were greeted by a crisp clear morning for Christmas Day 2009 when staying at Coles Bay on the Freycinet Peninsula. My eldest daughter, aged 10, and I headed off to climb Mt Amos for a special time together. The view from the summit over Wineglass Bay and the whole National Park was majestic. On [...]

Back in 2008 when Tiger Airlines launched their new routes in Australia with very cheap introductory fares, I grasped the chance to gather some close friends for a long weekend in Tasmania. They are the sort of friends who need very little coaxing to take a trip and naturally enough all of the seats were selling [...]

Travelling west from Devonport, through Burnie and driving on and on! Stanley – would we get there today?  Then a huge lump of rock looms abruptly from the ocean.  It’s the Nut – an exposed lava plug more than 10 million years old, and a reminder of the area’s volcanic history. Stanley is nestled at [...]

The first I heard of it was a from a phone call about 11pm on Sunday night March 1, 2009. The woman at the other end of the phone said she was from the Mercury Newspaper in Hobart, that there was a beached whale at Naracoopa on the east coast of King Island, and did [...]

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, [...]
