Hi, we're me - on a pension and adult son - full time casual worker - are wanting to see and play in snow.

We have school holidays Qld free, so end of June to mid July. Probably just a 3 day/long weekend visit. Flying to and back.

How far from the airport will we need to go? Any tips on budget accommodation, busses or car rental? We're not so interested in skiing, just ticking off a bucket list item.

Is this even possible or wrong time of year?

Any advice greatly appreciated 👍👍

Hey everyone,

I am going on a 3 week trip with some friends in a camper-van in tassie

We are still drafting up some places we want to visit and things we want to do, but we’re wondering if you guys have any other recommendations on places that are a must or activities to do.

Thanks all!

Hi all,

Can anyone give me some recommendations for lunch at a winery on a Saturday afternoon around the Hobart area? Most seem to do only small sharing dishes but looking for a sit down lunch as it’s a special occasion.

Thanks

I’m currently planning another trip to Tasmania in August and hoping to include Bruny and Maria Islands for the first time.

We’ll probably try and avoid weekends, but I’m wondering if businesses on Bruny tend to be closed on specific weekdays (i.e. don’t go on Monday because everything’s shut)?

Heading over next week! Bit spur of the moment so hoping for some advice here!

Couple travelling in 79 Land Cruiser with tent, will stay in accommodation if it’s too cold/wet.

Would love to have at least one good bush camp option where you can chill and have a fire over looking water amongst the trees. No walk in sites however must drive in.

We are self sufficient and used to off roading. Want to do a few of the smaller hiking trails around cradle mountain.

can’t wait and thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

First time posting in this sub.

Id be visiting Tassie again for the 3rd or 4th time during winter. This time with my almost elderly parents in law and my wife.

Im planning for these routes (Chatgpt and google gemini isnt much of help) and am worried about the "flow" of the driving

I touch down on sat late morning

Id be having a 4wd as well.

Sat - Day 1) hobart, eaglehawk neck, salamanca market (will reach around 12 , not sure if its worth to go at this time)

Sun- Day 2) bruny island,

Mon - Day 3) mount field , lake dobson and gordon dam

Tue - Day 4) cradle mountain, dove lake etc

Wed - Day 5) Ben Lomond (if possible Jacobs ladder) or should I use the shuttle?

Thurs - Day 6) Launceston distillery, st helens binalong bays of fire

Fri - Day 7) Bicheno blowhole/ binalong if I missed it. Drive thru to freycinet

Sat - Day 8) Salamanca (full day) if missed,

Sun - Day 9) freycinet , wineglass bay

Mon - Day 10) fly off early morning.

Also im from southeast asia, my winter gear is normally uniqlo parkas. Im planning to get local winterwear to appear more "local" so any advice would be appreciated. Im away about macpac but the site itself isn't cheap 😞

Thanks

Hi everyone,

Tourist help needed. Im arriving in hobart for the June july winter season. Going between 27june to 6 july

Im planning to go to

- salamanca

- mount field

- cradle

- launceston distillery

- ben lomond

- bays of fire

- freycinet

- bruny

In which order should I go?

Im recommended by Google and chat gpt to go via the west coast to the east coast and back to hobart however the distance of mount field to cradle is almost 4.5hrs meaning id have lesser time to spend at mount field

My goal is to encounter as much snow as im a traveller from south east Asia.

Appreciated for your help

Is it generally safe/advisable to drive from Cradle to Freycinet during winter? What are the things drivers should really take note of?

Hi everyone. I was wondering what is more convenient and cheap travelling in Tasmania we have 2 weeks iterinary is it better to use campervan to explore or just use Airbnb and hire a car?

hi everyone, im looking to propose to my partner in the area. I’ve personally never visited before as im from singapore :) preferably nt too long of a walk away from the main entrance (if there is a main one) and one with like lake-ish mountain backdrop

would be amazing if u guys got any photos too :)

Hello! We are heading over to Tasmania next week covering Port Arthur, Southport and Hobart. Wondering how cold is it there currently and if thermals are needed? And if the chances for Southern Lights looking hopeful these few days?

And if we can bring any flovoured commercial instant noodles over?
