My wife and I were residents in Hobart for 5 years through the late 80s. Despite that there are still many parts of Tasmania left for us to visit. We recently returned from a 6-week visit staying in the north and west. One week in January 2012 was spent at Cradle Chalet at Moina from [...]

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 [...]

The first time we visited Cataract Gorge I was surprised how close it was to our house in Launceston. We climbed up a big hill that mum nicknamed ‘butt-cruncher hill’. It wasn’t easy climbing up the ‘Zig Zag’ track but it did help to jump from rock to rock. We checked out the look-out a [...]

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.

This is Tasmania: a road-trip that starts in a traffic jam as the sun goes down but really begins in a grey Devonport car-park as the sun comes up, eating breakfast wrapped in greaseproof paper and rifling through booklets with texta scribbles on their back covers. Tasmania, for seven days, is roads – roads that you [...]

There is so much to do in Tasmania and if you are a little bit on the active side and love nature, then you can eat your heart out here! There is no outdoor pursuit you can’t do in Tasmania. Think about what you like most of any out-door activity and you can do it. [...]

Our Tasmanian family adventure had purposely been planned for July in the hope that we might strike snow. Driving along the winding mountainous road toward Cradle Mountain, higher and higher through the clouds, we got our wish. Even now, my eyes tear up at the pure joy and wonder of our two young daughters as snowflakes [...]
