One nice spot to spent a night is around Geeveston, beaut little old timber town, some beautiful wooden carvings around town, and a short drive west to Tahune Forest Skywalk which was worth the time and cost, some massive tress there.
We stayed at a small backpackers when we went through, but there is just north of town a place called Shipwrights Point, which could be a council free RV type spot,
dump point >
Google maps has it shown.
I have been down there a few times, a few trips for bushwalking various
places . . . if you can manage some walking, Tassie is a mecca for short and long walks.
Recommend Lake St Clair, you can catch a ferry either way to top of the lake, and walk the other direction there or back.
It is a day walk, follows the Overland Track, 5 to 7 hrs, 16km.
Or you can do the drop off or pick up at Echo Point 10km about 3 hrs.
If you wanted to see
Wineglass bay, you could do the walk up to the
lookout from the base, about 1.5km each way, 1 to 1.5 hrs return depending on pace.
To get onto the beach itself is only 1.5 or so hrs for good fitness level, but coming back will be slower, best to allow it as a day walk, and picnic lunch on the beach, there is a
campsite only at southern end.
I also did a 3 week driving tour with wife and daughter many years ago, in the commo, stayed backpackers in remote spots.
Covered a lot of the island, off ferry, across to
St Helens, down to
Bicheno, Bruny, did the island and day boat out from
Adventure Bay,
Port Arthur,
Hobart, Geeveston, Cockle Ck, up again and west to Lake SC,
Strahan (awesome spent a few days here), do the railway, and harbour / river cruise, up to Cradle, short walks to
Dove Lake etc.
Up to coast, had a day free so drove west to
Penguin and back to catch ferry back.
The ferry then was very stable, not sure about the new ones, but the on board gyros made the trip very comfy and smooth.
As said in suggestions to either scratch the surface all over, or do a few spots in detail . . . that depends on your likes when travelling.
Personally, we just liked cramming as much as we could in, we didn't feel rushed in 3 weeks, but it went fast, and we only had the
sedan.
