Stew F Posted 30September, 2014 Report Share Posted 30September, 2014 We're planning on heading down to Tasmaina at the end of October for a week or so. I was thinking of taking the 911, which means drive from Adelaide to Melbourne, ferry across, and then spend 7 or 8 days there. I know a few of you are from the good old Isle of Apples. What are the must do's, good accommodation spots, etc. Is it worth splitting the trip up into say east & west. Do the east this time & the west next time. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 30September, 2014 Report Share Posted 30September, 2014 In a week you can circumnavigate for a memorable drive. Go anticlockwise across the top , make sure you get to Strahan and then down to Hobart. Lots to see depending upon your whims. Mona well worth a visit. Then down to the Tasman Peninsula or if you wish , Bruny Island via ferry to the fabulous Wilderness Cruises Back up the East Coast , stay at Coles Bay and walk over to Wineglass Bay (1 morning). Head up via St Helens and back inland to Launceston and thereafter make your chosen way to Devonport. So much depends upon your interests , budget , time management.
