We arrived in Hobart cold & windy, picked up the motor home, very basic but did the job, first day we headed off to Port Arthur, stopping the way at an old time collection of relics from day gone by what an interesting place, arrived at Port Arthur late in the afternoon so cold the Free Camp site went on hold, had to go to a caravan park for power so we could run the a/c to keep warm.
Visit to Port Arthur was fantastic, although it was wet and really cold a great place to visit. Called in to see the Tasmanian Devils, these wer not our favourite animals, nasty, smelly creatures, but they do have a place, cleaning up road kill.
from Port Arthur we made out way up the East coast stopping on the way to have a look around, one of the highlights was the Penguin tour in the evening at Bichino to watch the little guys come from the oceana to the rookery for the night. The coast line is beautiful and we did enjoy it, made our way as far north as St Helens then headed back to St Mary's and accross country to Campbelltown and Ross (the wool town) we did enjoy even though bitterly cold, after making our way back to Hobart stayed the night in a new caravan park right near the airport before flying home the next morning.
In short Tassie is on our list to go back and take the van and explor it for about 3 months.
