After eight years of living in Australia, we finally realised our dream of visiting Tasmania. Like a delicious cake, we did not want to have it all in one go but wanted to savour each bite slowly. So we decided that we would only do western Tassie to start with. The drive from Sydney to [...]

Short distances on great roads with little traffic (I live in Sydney!) allowed me the time, space and rare pleasure of being able to indulge my photographer’s eye (alas with just an i-phone) from a fun perspective.

Near Zeehan there is an old rail tunnel in which you can test your nerves of steel by driving through it. With skilled driving you only have centimetres on each side. The locals refer [...]

We decided to spend our honeymoon in Tasmania. We arrived on the 13th March and departed on the 25th in 2006. We stayed at various Bed and Breakfasts for our accomodation. We thoroughly enjoyed our stayed although it went too quickly and we never got to see the East Coast of Tasmania. We started our [...]

Take a married couple travelling to a smallish yet delightful island. Give them a map in hand, a new-found sense of freedom and a vague sense of the places they want to visit then put them in a motor home designed for the vertically challenged for 12 days as they traverse the windy roads.
