Thread: Just for fun - Tassie Trip

Welcome to the south 😎

Tassie is stunning , so beautiful !
I usually come for Agfest - so in May . Summer is nice 👍

I'm watching with interest as we're off in January. I'm keen to have a look at Montezuma falls and as many other tracks as safe when driving without backup.

Melba flats track was easy with care.
That's how l did it.

Short update , have traveled across the tiers “ why are we following a snow plough it’s December ?”
Ah , that would be the snow and ice dear ..........about a foot of snow across the top !

Went down to Port Arthur , spent the day roaming about the site ,so much history .
camped in port Arthur - don’t go when a school group is using the caravan park !

Oh , and I’ve never seen so many motorhomes !

So so the next adventure was to Freycint , camped at “ Friendly beach “ and it rained - and I mean rained for 15 hrs straight , moved the camper to higher ground ,cameo out at 2 am and there was 2.5 inches of water everywhere .
no , my camper doesn’t leak !
The natives are very friendly .
Woke up and it was beautiful again , have I mentioned Tassie is beautiful
packed up - dry ! And left for the national park and wineglass bay , worth the walk .

again , so many tourists and motorhomes .
Have moved on to to St Hellen’s and will cross Tassie again tomorrow to Devonport and home .

My tips ,
if you do Port Arthur , do the cruises - purchase a ‘leave pass ‘ re-entry to Port Arthur for free in the next 2 yrs . Cost $10 , if you don’t use it consider it a donation.
the campsites - non powered at Freycinyt in the NP are not suitable for campers or caravans , rooftop tent or tent /swags ok .

Friendly Beach is free to camp as part of entry ticket , drop toilets .

Didnt access the powered sites - all booked out in advance ......again motorhomes !
Do the walk to wineglass bay lookout it’s worth it !

Bay day of Fires is nice but the scenery on the drive up is spectacular, whites beaches , blue ocean - bit cold tho .
