Thanks Baz
Nothing is perfect in this world and when travelling, exploring in this world, no matter where you are you have to put up with the conditions and make the best of it because it is our choice to be where ever we are.
We experienced every season in Tassie from warm to snow and calm to bloody windy, but I believe this is what adventuring is about.
We went to many
places we should not have went and on some occasions could not get through because of overgrowth on tracks and serious washouts which could have caused major damage and would need a sky-crane to get us out but we thoroughly enjoyed every minute. I love to not know that is around the next corner or over the next mountain because what you normally find is breath taking, beautiful and exciting.
The Tasmanian people are the most friendly and relaxed people that I have met in Australia. Several times we found great areas to
camp next to creeks and rivers and it was only a matter of being polite and asking the farmers if we could
camp overnight and the answer was always yes. We always left the area cleaner than we found it and on a few occasions firewood was brought down on a quad bike for us to use. Speaking of quads, I think this will be our next investment to get into
places that you would damage your vehicle.
If people complain about Tassie they are better off staying in a resort at the
Gold Coast or somewhere else.
We will certainly be back and next time we will have a base
camp, our boat and hopefully a Quad bike. I don't know which is the best location as I love the west coast but I think it will be around
Deep Creek where there is better access to the sea.
On our trip in Tassie we saw many hundreds of hire Camper Vans (Britz type) and unfortunately due to their limited access these people spending so much money on the hire of these vehicles miss out on so many beautiful and unreachable
places in these vehicles.
