Travelling by car and seeing the Tamar Valley Region and also took a four hour cruise through the Tamar River and Cataract Gorge, amazing experience. Drove from the Quality Hotel Colonial Launceston where we were staying, a 10/10 to Triabunna Marina where we caught a ferry with Encounter Maria Ferry to Maria Island. The Island was absolutely spectacular. A must do walk to see the Painted Cliffs. The restaurants and cafes we dined in were great the food was absolutely delicious and customer service was excellent. Three Steps on George Restaurant In George street Launceston 10/10, would rate it more if we could. Twinker Cafe Launceston 10/10. Mojo Cafe 10/10. Bread and Butter cafe 10/10 absolutely delicious food there. Overall my friend Amira who came from Lebanon and l from Melbourne, had the most amazing trip. This is our second trip to Tasmania together in five years and my third. We love just the untouched beauty of Tasmania and the friendly and welcoming people.

We covered a couple of thousand kilometres of Tasmania and even discovered a few gems we didn’t have on our itinerary. We did many hikes and saw beautiful scenery and familiar attractions for ourselves. Tasmania is a beautiful place to self drive and I would love to return and take my kids to see the parts we couldn’t fit into our week away.

On a very cold and rainy day my friend and I travelled all the way to Stanley for the view, but couldn't see much due to the weather, but visited the lovely Cow 'n' Calf Art Gallery where I purchased a magnificent print, Magical Rocky, Rocky Cape, NW Stanley which David Murphy kindly posted out to me in Melbourne. I now have a constant reminder of one of the many interesting and beautiful places we visited on our Launceston trip.

My partner and I hired a car to travel around Tasmania - it's an absolute must in order to visit all the great places Tasmania has to offer. We were hesitant to get a hatchback car, as we weren't sure if there were any off road routes required. We visited Launceston, Freycinet, Hobart and Cradle Mountain without any road dramas whatsoever. Be careful driving at night though as there are so many wild animals sprinting across the roads!

Tasmania - St. Helens, Swansea, Ross, Richmond, Hobart, Port Arthur, Mt. Wellington, Strahan, Cradle Mountain and Launceston. This was an excellent 9 day clockwise route around Tassie. Highlights are the Bay of Fires, Binalong Point, the mid East Coast, Derwent Valley and of course Cradle Mountain all very beautiful. Launceston... not that exciting.
