As host of iFISH I am fortunate enough to have been to Tasmania on over a dozen trips and, each time, the sole purpose has been the pursuit of fish. I can’t exactly put my finger on what it is, but there’s something that excites me greatly and makes me feel at home every time [...]

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.

My friend and I ventured to the Mersey River in an attempt to catch our first Tasmanian stream trout. We hiked down to the river from the Alum Cliffs walk (an adventure in itself) with instructions to our wives “pick us up at the Union Bridge just outside Mole Creek at 4pm”. We got to [...]

We arrived in New Norfolk just outside Hobart ten minutes before the [Derwent Valley] Tourism Information Office closed its doors for the day. A cool autumn evening with no accommodation booked. Gerald – the volunteer of the day – suggested we look through the brochures of local accommodation. Even today I regard Gerald as a [...]

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 [...]
