4wding around Tasmania

Hi I just came back from Tassie on Sunday. Didn't do to much 4wding but did try and pack in a fair bit of touring. Have a look at my blog that I am currently updating.

Hi Luke,
We took the book 4wd Tracks in Tasmania by Chris Bowden 2nd edition with us.It has trek notes and maps in very good detail of tracks in all corners of Tassie,lists 4wd clubs and free camps.Highly recommended Mt McCall and bird river track for 60klms,Mt Huxley track and Ring River Track.Book is common in good map shops.
Cheers Mark

Honeymoon! All you'll be needing is a quiet motel ;-)
Congratulations Craig...........

Luke, also look at Michelle's diary from David and Michelle's Tassie trip. As we were sightseeing, we did not do 4wd treks as such; just drove around and enjoyed the sights and scenery. Lots of good walks too.

Enjoy the trip.

Gday,
Dont forget to take some rifles.
Apparently over there the rule is " If it moves, Shoot it" and if you cant eat it, skin it and make a hat!

LOL

One thing for sure, three weeks are not enough to see this fantastic place.

We spent from 20th of December to 18 Jan in Tassie. Loved every minute of it. Much to my husband disgust we never stayed on schedule, we had brought See Tassie Cards, which are well worth the $$ if you do everything that cards allow you to do, we did almost everything, from a Jet Boat ride, hang gliding, Port Arthur, Air walk , brewery tour at Cascades, though we found Boags was better, and many other things. We have three kids and the kids had the time of their lives...something that they will never forget. They saw Wild Oats finish...did a walk around the entire fleet of the Sydney to Hobart.

Don't forget to visit the seahorse, platypus houses and Grubb shaft gold ( Beaconsfield mine is next door )is worth a visit. You really need a day and half at Port Arthur, not only do the day walk around, but also the night and go out to Ilse of the Dead, we did not have time. We also did the histroic walk around Hobart, some interesting stuff on that tour, that was one of the things on the See Tassie cards.

A don't take all the weather as cold and shower....when we were there it did actually get to 40C.

We are planning on going back, when we get the kids off our hands, in about another 7 years...though the little buggers will probably want to come too. There is an awesome firework factory in Glenorchy.....my b-i-l wallet was left a little light after a visit to that shop.

Fot the record we did six weeks on the road and took over 3500 pics.....so make sure you have a few empty memory cards or take a laptop to store the pics on...

Thanks to all for your information. I do realize it will be cold at that time of year but are willing to give it a go.

We will just have to take a lot of warm clothing.

Thanks again

Cheers Luke
