    Moving to Tasmania

    Friends of a nephew are moving from the UK to Tasmania. Wants to buy them a gift to help them start their time there. Any recommendations for a book about Tasmania and what to see and how to do it?

    This 4WD Tracks In Tasmania - Chris Boden - Carto Graphics is a pretty good book which covers most of the 4wd tracks but also some history.

    Moving to Tasmania.

    We're a much tougher breed down here in Tassie.

    No place for woosses (not sure of the spelling but I can spot one at a distance!)

    I reckon. I remember flying down to Hobart in November. Tshirt and shorts and I just about died of exposure walking from the plane to the terminal, it was that cold! I had some time to fill in, so went for a drive to the top of Mt Wellington where it was snowing!
    Cheers
