North West Tassie in two weeks

We stayed at Wynyard (in caravan park closest the town centre) in January this year. Basically on the beach. Nice park. Nice owners.

Wynyard is nice, I played cricket for a season or two there. I always enjoyed Boat Harbour, just out of Wynyard. Not sure about next G covereage.

Cheers, And don't forget to visit the Henty Sand Dunes, they are fantastic. If you are into bushwalking, The Bird River walk which follows a long forgotten railway into the harbour near Strahan is beautiful and easy (7-8KM and no hills).

Another top park is at Somerset in the old Drive In site. Top spot and central to where you want to be.

Thanks to those who have provided suggestions. Interestingly, all of them are on the north coast whereas I had initially thought that somewhere in the middle, like Tullah or Waratah, might have been more sensible.

I gather, from what has been said, that the distances are such that a trip from the north to Strahan and the surrounding area is not such a big deal.

From a local perspective: I would suggest you plant yourself down for 2-3 days in each area and move on. Off the boat at Devonport and head to Ulverstone, 30 min up the road. From there you can visit Sheffield and the Mole Creek caves areas. Next I would head to Boat Harbour for a couple of days and on to Stanley/Smithton. Next the long haul down "the road to nowhere" (C249) to Strahan/Queenstown area staying in Strahan. Heading back to the boat thru Rosebery etc, with the must see Cradle Mountain on the way. That should have you covering the area quite well. If you're a trout fisherman, the Arthur, Pieman and Henty Rivers are nearing the end of their peak fishing times where some huge searun trout can be caught, 8kg not unheard of. They are not easy but......
