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 [...]

Everyone thought we were mad when we booked to visit Hobart in July! Too Cold! But cold brings its own benefits… snow glistening atop Mt Wellington, hot chocolate with marshmallows at Salamanca, warming whiskies at Lark Distillery and piping hot scallop pies … the closest thing to food Heaven on earth those scallop pies!

In 1983 my family, including 4 children, did a house and car swap with a Hobart family who had 7 children. When dollars don’t stretch for family holidays, this was the perfect solution. Both families had one month’s free accommodation for the Christmas holidays. We all loved our time in Tasmania and we made good [...]
